Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
The "m" in y = mx + b is the <u>slope.</u>
It is the number of units a point goes up, down, left, or right each time. Making the line linear/straight.

"rise" is the the number of units you go up(+) or down(-), "run" is the number of units you go to the right
For example, if your slope is:

You are going up 1 unit, and to the right 2 units
3 or 
You are going up 3 units, and to the right 1 unit

You are going down one unit, and to the right 2 units
-3 or 
You are going down 3 units, and to the right 1 unit
Test the choices !
Pick an even number, and see what each choice does to it.
Let's start with, say, 6 .
We'll try each choice, and see which one produces an odd number:
a). 6 to the 2nd power. . . . . . 6 x 6 = 36. That's not an odd number.
b). 6 + 3 = 9 This could be it. 9 is odd. We'll save this one.
c). 3·6 = 18. That's not an odd number.
d). 6/3 = 2. That's not an odd number.
The only one that gave us an odd number is (b).
