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

Mathematics

GaryK [48]3 years ago

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

(<u><em>hope this helped!!)</em></u>

<span>1)The table below represents a linear function f(x) and the equation represents a function g(x):

 x     y
-1  -11
 0   -1
 1    9


g(x) = 5x + 1

Part A: Write a sentence to compare the slope of the two functions and show the steps you used to determine the slope of f(x) and g(x). (6 points)

slope of the data of the table:

slope = rise / run = Δy / Δx = [ 9 - ( - 1) ] / [1 - 0] = 10/1 = 10

Also Δy / Δx =  [-1 - (-11) ] / [ 0 - (-1) ] = 10 / 1 = 10

the slope of the function given in the form f(x) = mx + b is m, so the slope of g(x) = 5x - 1 is 5.

Comparisson: the slope of the function g(x) = 5x - 1 is half the slope of the function f(x) represented by the table.

Part B: Which function has a greater y-intercept? Justify your answer.

The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0, so it is - 1 for the function represented by the table.

The y-intercept of a function given in the form f(x) = mx + b is b, so the y-intercept of g(x) = 5x - 1 is - 1.

So, both functions have equal y-intercept.

2)The table below shows the values of y for each value of x:

x  y
1  0
1 -1
2  1
2 -2

Part A: Does the table represent a relation that is a function? Justify your answer by using the values shown in the table. (4 points)

No, it is not a function, because the relation is ambiguous: the x-coordinate 1 may have two differente values, and the x-coordinate 2 may have two different. So you cannot determine the images of x = 1 and x = 2.

Part B: The function f(x) shown below represents the number of baskets Jess made at different distances, x, in meters, from the hoop:

f(x) = -x + 6

Calculate and interpret the meaning of f(4). (4 points)

f(4) = - 4 + 6 = 2

It means that Jess made 2 baskets at the distant of 4 meters.

Part C: Write an ordered pair to represent the input and output of the function in Part B when Jess is at a distance of p meters from the hoop. (2 points)

input, p         output, f(p)

6                       -6 + 6 = 0

So the ordered pair is (6,0)

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

5.49

Step-by-step explanation:

5.48<u>9,</u> the number 9 that is underlined is 5 or more so you put that at 0 then it would be 5.48, but since the 8 is also 5 or more and is the hundreths place you round that to 9 giving you 5.49
