Question

If m < 0 and b > 0, the graph of y = mx + b does not pass through which quadrant?

Quadrant I
Quadrant II
Quadrant III
Quadrant IV

Answer 1

The graph will not past at quadrant III. I think thats the best answer, hope that helps.

Answer 2

Quadrant III

Explanation:

The attached picture shows graph of 4 such linear functions with the conditions given in the problem. ALL of them DO NOT pass through Quadrant III.

The graphs shown are of the functions:

`y=-2x+1`

`y=-3x+3`

`y=-x+0.5`

`y=-5x+2`

So, any linear function of the form
`y=mx+b` with
`m<0` and
`b>0` does not pass through Quadrant III. Answer choice 3 is correct.
