The graph of the linear equation with m > 0 and b < 0 is in the image at the end.

For which line is it true that m > 0 and b < 0?

A general linear equation is written as:

y = mx + b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

  • When m > 0, we will see a line that goes upwards.
  • When b < 0, we will see that the line intercepts the vertical axis below the horizontal axis.

With this we can see that the correct option from the given ones is the second graph. You can see the image below.
