Answer:

The variable <em>b</em><em> </em>represents the y-intercept, where the line intersects the y-axis.

The variable <em>m</em><em> </em>represents the <em>rate of</em><em> </em><em>change</em><em> </em>[<em>slope</em>]. The formula for the slope is down below:

\frac{-y_1 + y_2}{-x_1 + x_2} = m

This is another way of saying \frac{rise}{run}.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

In the slope intercept formula

m is the slope  (\frac{rise}{run})

b is the y-intercept (the y-value of where the line intersects the y-axis)

Hope this helped!

Suppose you just purchased a digital music player and have put 15 tracks on it. After listening to them you decide that you like
Lilit [14]
The given case is an example of permutation problem because the order is important given that you should like the first two songs. The sample space is calculated through the equation, 
                                       15P2 = 210
Then, there are 3 songs that you liked, the probability of picking 2 out of them is,
                                         3P2 = 6
Dividing the latter by the earlier result will give us an answer of 1/35.

Solve 3.8 = p/3 - 7.2
ziro4ka [17]
19/5=p/3-36/5

Convert the decimals into fractions

15 x 19/5=(p/3-36/5) x 15

Multiply both sides by 15

57=5x-108

5x-108+108=57+108

Add 108 to both sides

5x=165

X=33
