For finding the value of b, we must consider that Line MN passes through points M(4, 3) and N(7, 12). With this condition y = mx + b, can be written 3=4m+ b (because line passes through M(4,3) ) and 12=7m+b, b ( because line passes through M(7,12)).
We have a system of equation
4m+ b=3
7m+b=12
For solving this, 4m+b- (7m+b)= 3-12, it is equivalent to -3m= -9 and then m=3, if m=3 so
4x3 +b =3 implies b= 3 -12= -9, so the value of b= -9

The correct answer is option A. Erica is correct in saying that the two lines are not necessarily the same and we should also look at the y-intercepts before determining how many solutions there were. <span>Two lines with equal slopes could be the same line, but only if they have the same y-intercept.</span>
The answer is 10 because when you use the slope formula y^2 - y^1 divided by x^2 - x^1 and plug your points in you get 10/0 which makes the answer ten
Is the question your asking the one at the bottom
Answer:
26
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the input is -4, x = -4. The equation then is y = -7(-4) -2
A negative times a negative is a positive, so -7 times -4 is 28.
Now the equation reads y = 28 - 2
Then obviously you just subtract the two and then you get 26.
