Lindsay used two points, (x 1, y 1) and (x 2, y 2), to find the equation of the line, y = mx + b, that passes through the points. First, she used the definition of slope and determined that the value of m is StartFraction y 2 minus y 1 Over x 2 minus x 1 EndFraction. Given this information, which expression must represent the value of b?

the law of definite proportions states samples of a compound will always contain the same proportion of elements by mass. in other words, a given compound will always contain the same elements in the same proportions by mass.the law of multiple proportions states when two elements combine with each other to form more than one compound, then the weights of one element that combine with a fixed weight of the other are in a ratio of small whole numbers.
