Question

What of b make y = 2x plus b the same as y=2x? What does that value mean?

Answer 1

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

The short answer is no. b stands for some number. Once that number is fixed, it does not change. So the equation would look something like

y = 2x + 6  Now if you look at that again, that 6 is fixed.

If you want to put something in for x like x = 5 you get

y = 2(5) + 6

y = 10 + 6

y = 16                   b = 6 did not change.

What does y = 2x equal

y = 2*5

y = 10

10 does not equal 16.

The only exception to what I've written is b = 0. Then both equations mean the same thing. But that is an exception.
