m = 5, b = -2
m = 4, b=3
m = -2, b=5

y = 4x +3
y = 3x + 4
y = 5x-2
y = -2x + 5
Done

Answer 1

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

(m is the slope, b is the y-intercept or the y value when x = 0 --> (0, y) or the point where the line crosses through the y-axis)

y = 1.5x - 7 m = 1.5 b = -7

(y = (1.5)x + (-7) ----> y = 1.5x - 7)

y = -1.5x - 4 m = -1.5 b = -4

y = -3x + 4 m = -3 b = 4

y = 3x m = 3 b = 0

y = 7 m = 0 b = 7

(y = (0)x + 7 ---> y = 7)
