Complete Question:
If the point (2, 5) is a solution to the system of equations shown below, then determine the missing values of b and m. Show how you arrive at your answer.
1. y = 3x + b
2. y = mx + 9
Answer:
1. Intercept, b = -1
2. Slope, m = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following data;
Points on the line (x, y) = (2, 5)
To find the missing values;
Mathematically, the equation of a straight line is given by the formula;
y = mx + b
Where;
- m is the slope. 
- x and y are the points
- b is the intercept.
1. y = 3x + b
Substituting the value of x and y, we have;
5 = 3(2) + b
5 = 6 + b
b = 5 - 6
<em>Intercept, b = -1</em>
2. y = mx + 9
Substituting the value of x and y, we have;
5 = m(2) + 9
5 = 2m + 9
2m = 5 - 9
2m = -4
m = -4/2
<em>Slope, m = -2</em>
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Let's put the chart into ordered pairs:
(x, y)
(2,1)
(3,4)
(3,3)
(4,2)
(5,5)
In bold, we see that there are two y-values at x=3. This means that this relation fails the vertical line test (two points on the same verticle line). This is not a function. 
The answer options may be mis-written. 
The answer is no, because one x value corresponds to more than one y-value.
