Linear functions can be written in the form y=mx+b, where:
y is a y coordinate on the line
m is the slope of the line
x is the x coordinate on the line that corresponds with the y coordinate in the equation
b is the y-intercept of the line
So for the equation y=-10x+1:
m=-10 and b=1 so the slope of the line is -10, and the y-intercept is 1. Your answer is B.
Answer:
what's your question though?
Jamie's age is n. (given)
Brian's age is 2n. (given)
Half of Brian and Jamie's present age is (n +2n)/2 = 3n/2.
Let m represent Morgan's age now. Then
... m + 8 = 2 + 3n/2 . . . . . in 8 years, Morgan's age will be 2 more than ...
Subtract 8 to find Morgan's present age:
... m = 3n/2 - 6 . . . . Morgan's present age
23÷5=4 with a remainder of $3. each avocada was 4$.
