Do you mean y = mx + b instead of y = mc + b? In that case:
b in y = mx + b format is the y-intercept, as this kind of equation is called slope-intercept form.
Answer:
4 ft
Step-by-step explanation:

A=10 h=5

20=5b (multiply both sides by 2)
4=b (divide by 5)
Janes weight = x
Twelve pounds less than twice janes weight is 270 pounds
12 less than 2x is 270
2x -12 = 270 (add 12 to each side)
2x = 270 + 12
2x = 282 (divide 2 from each side)
x = 282/2
x = 141
The answer is 141 pounds
Y= 0.26x+4.4*10^-4
Y= 0.26x+4.4*10,000
Y=0.26x+44,000
I'm not sure if you were only trying to simplify the problem, but I hope this helped
A hole occurs when both numerator and denominator of a rational function have the same factor.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
While graphing rational function, it has to be converted into the lowest terms by factoring the numerator and denominator. If the numerator and denominator has the same factor, a hole is said to have occurred and to solve the rational function, you have to set the common factor to zero.
After you set it to zero and solve, you obtain the x value which can be then used to find out the value of y.
