Question

What are m and b in the linear equation using the common meaning of m and b 1+4x+6-x=y

Answer 1

m is 3 and b is 7 in the linear equation 1 + 4x + 6 - x = y

Solution:

The equation in slope intercept form is given as:

y = mx + b ------ eqn 1

Where,

"m" is the slope and "b" is the y intercept

Given linear equation is:

1 + 4x + 6 - x = y

Convert the above form to slope intercept

1 + 4x + 6 - x = y

Combine the constants

4x - x + 7 = y

Combine the like terms

3x + 7 = y

y = 3x + 7

Compare above equation with eqn 1

m = 3

b = 7

Thus, m is 3 and b is 7 in the linear equation
