Y=mx+b is The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.

y = mx + b is what's called the slope formula.

It's used for when you want to know what the formula for a line is.

y is just the y value.

Sometimes, a question will ask for you to find a line with some slope and going through some point. In this case, you would replace y with the y value of that point.

However, when you're finished with your equation, y should always be a variable.

m is the slope.

To find the slope, you have to use the point-slope formula. When given two points, you put them into this equation: \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

When you're finished with your equation, m should be a number.

x is just the x value.

Sometimes, a question will ask for you to find a line with some slope and going through some point. In this case, you would replace x with the x value of that point.

However, when you're finished with your equation, x should always be a variable.

b is the y-intercept, or when x = 0.

This is usually what you'll need to find in y = mx + b. What will likely happen is you'll given everything but b. All you need to do then is plug in the values you're given into this equation.

When you're finished with your equation, b should be a number.

If you have any questions, let me know! I'm happy to edit my response with more information if need be.

Answer:

First option y=3/5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Because if you look on the graph, at x=5, y=3

in the equation, plug in x=5, you cancel out denominator left with y=3

How can I solve this does anyone knows?
Ipatiy [6.2K]
A. C = 17h + 15
b. 83 = 17h + 15 
    -15           - 15  subtract 15 from both sides 
    68 = 17h
    ------------
         17               divide both sides by 17
      4=h  
  They cleaned the house for 4 hours
c. C = 20x
to do this last part, you would put both equations into the calculator under y=, then look at the table to determine when the price is the same. According to the calculator, the price is the same at 5 hours
