Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP What is the m and b for this graph??

Answer 1

m = - 1 and b = - 1

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 3) ← 2 points on the line

m =
`(-3-2)/(2-(-3))` =
`(-5)/(2+3)` =
`(-5)/(5)` = - 1

b is the y- intercept, that is where the graph crosses the y- axis.

line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 1 ) ⇒ b = - 1
