If f(x)=mx+b what are the values of m and b​

Mathematics
1 answer:
GaryK [48]3 years ago
6 0

The m variable is the slope of the line and controls its 'steepness'. A positive value has the slope going up to the right. A negative slope goes down to the right. The b variable is the y intercept - the point where the line crosses the y axis.

example 1                                                    

y = mx + b

m = slope b = y-intercept

y = 3x - 1

m = 3 and b = -1

example 2

y = b + m<em>x</em><em> </em>

b = y-intercept m = slope

y = 5 - 1/2x

m =- 1/2 and b = 5

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

hi! you have 2 points! this means slope formula! y2-y1/x2-x1

okay all you do now is plugin! (x1 1,y1 3) (x2 3,y2 7) what I did was label your x1 y1 x2 y2! now just follow the formula and that / is division or basically a fraction

7-3/3-1

that equals -5! and that's your slope! memorize the formula it helpss!

A student answered 86 problems on a test correctly and received a grade of 98%. How many problems were on the test, if all the p
balu736 [363]

Answer:

88 problems

Step-by-step explanation:

Set this problem up as fractions

86/x = 98/100

Cross multiply

86 × 100 = x × 98

8600 = 98x

Divide both sides by 98

87.75... = x

Round to nearest whole number

87.75 rounds up to 88
