Question

If the m = and the b = -2. then the linear equation is:

y = x + 2.
y = x − 2.
y = 2x.
None of these choices are correct.

Answer 1

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The linear equation with m and b is called the slope intercept equation, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. It is written as y=mx+b.

We see that m is equal to 1 and b is equal to -2. We can write this down as y=1x-2, or just y=x-2 as 1x is just x.

Have a wonderful day! :D
