If you have the equation of different situations into y = mx + b, What do m and b represent? A
m represents the y-intercept and b represents the slope.
B
m represents the growth and b represents the initial value.
m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.
D
m represents the growth and b represents the Figure #0.

C. m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of straight line is usually expressed as:

       y  = mx + b

Where y is the vertical axis component

           x is the horizontal axis component

           m is the slope

           b is the y-intercept

At the y-intercept, x = 0

Also, the slope is the rise divided by the run.  

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
