1. m
2. One set of ordered pairs
3. b
To show why this is, I’m going to explain how to write the equation for a linear function with two random sets of ordered pairs - (1,0) and (5, 8).
First, find the slope. The formula for slope is m = (y2 - y1)/(x2-x1) where m is the slope and (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two sets of points.
This is why #1 is m. M is the letter used when finding slope.
To find m, I plug in the two sets of ordered pairs.
m = (8-0)/(5-1)
m = 8/4
m = 2
An equation for a line (linear function) is written in something called slope-intercept form. It looks like y = mx + b. m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (number y equals when x = 0). If m = 3 and b = 1, the equation would be y = 3x + 1.
Here, you have just solved for m and know it equals 2. Plug that value in for m.
y = 2x + b
To solve for b, plug one ordered pair in for x and y. I will use (1,0)
0 = 2(1) + b
0 = 2 + b
-2 = b
Now that you know b = -2, plug that in for b.
y = 2x - 2. Now you have the equation fo the line.

24 because it’s the lowest multiple of 12 that’s also in 2,6 and 8
Answer:
If there are 5000 bacteria in a colony right now, there will be 5000x2, or 10000 bacteria in the colony in 37 minutes.
If there are 10000 bacteria in the colony in 37 minutes, there will be 20000 bacteria in the colony in 74 minutes, as the bacteria doubles every 34 minutes.
