The linear equation represents y = mx + b describes several real world situations such as
- Relation between printer and ink cartridges,
- Relationship between number of songs and how much is left on the card.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
Linear equations y = mx + b.
m is your rate of change.
b is your constant. This is the initial value of y. The value of y when x is 0.
Finally, y is the thing that depends on x.
Oh right, examples:
- I buy a printer for $100 and the ink cartridges cost $25 each. The relationship between ink cartridges and total cost.
total cost = 25(cartridges I buy) + 100 or y = 25x + 100
-
I get a $100 iTunes gift card for my birthday and then start buying $1 songs. The relationship between the number of songs I buy and how much is left on the card
amount left on card = -$1(songs bought) + 100 or y = -x +100

Answer:
slope = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
The general structure of an equation in slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + b
In this form, "m" represents the slope and "b" represents the y-intercept. Since the given equation is not in the exact slope-intercept form, we need to rearrange it to identify the slope.
y + 2x = 5 <----- Given equation
y = -2x + 5 <----- Subtract 2x from both sides
Now, we can see that in the "m" position, there is a value of -2. This makes the slope = -2.
Answer:
x=24.621
