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
