Question

What are m and b in the linear equation 1 + 2x + 10 + 3x = y?

Answer 1

m=5, b=11

Explanation:

Well let's start by grouping like terms:

(1 + 10) + (2x + 3x) = y

Now let's add these like terms

11 + 5x = y

Here we have the linear equation in slope-intercept form, which is represented as:
`y=mx+b`, m=slope, and b=y-intercept

So m in this case = 5 (since it's the coefficient of x)

And b = 11 (since it's the constant value (doesn't change))
