Question

1. What is the constant of proportionality or "m" in the equation below?

Answer 1

The constant of proportionality, o slope, is the coefficient multiplying $x$ in the equation. The y-intercept is the constant term added at the end, with no variable:

$y=mx+b$

Answer 2

Answer:

1. m = -3

2. b = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using slope-form equation, y = mx+b where m is the gradient of the line and b is the y-intercept. So in the equation, y = -3x + 2, m is -3 and b is 2.
