Mei is standing next to a statue in the park. if mei is 5 feet tall, her shadow is 3 feet long, and the statues shadow is 10 1/2 feet long, how tall is the statue.

10.5/3 = 3.5

5 x 3.5 =17.5

THerefore the statue is 17.5m tall.

Where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept of the line, or the y-coordinate of the point at which the line crosses the y-axis. to write an equation in slope-intercept form, given a graph of that equation, pick two points on the line and use them to find the slope. this is the value of m in the equation.
