Question

What is how do I find m and b?

Answer 1

Answer:

m = 21, b = 5 → y = 21x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

$y=mx+b$

m - slope

b - y-intercept → (0, b)

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

=====================================

From the table we have y-intercept (0, 5) → b = 5 and other point (1, 26).

Calculate the slope:

$m=\dfrac{26-5}{1-0}=\dfrac{21}{1}=21$
