Cecily claims that the equation y = mx + b, where b is a real number, represents a function whose graph is a line. Which statement BEST
classifies this claim?

Cecily's claim is true only when b is zero.

Cecily's claim is true for all values of b.

Cecily's claim is not true for any value of b.

Cecily's claim is true only when b is not zero

Cecily's claim is true for all values of b.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cecily's claim is true for all values of b.

If she graphs y = mx, and then y = mx + b, and then y = mx + c, and so on, she will find that her graphs are all straight lines that are parallel to each other (as they will all have the same slope, m).

the number of possible outcomes that do not show a 1 on the first spinner and show the number 4 on the second spinner is 2.

3                   4 = not 1, and 4

only 2 outcomes have passed the given condition.
