For each problem, you are to create a linear equation in slope-intercept form, where $y = mx + b$, by identifying the slope ($m$) and the y-intercept ($b$) based on the information provided in each scenario. The ability to translate word problems into linear equations is essential for developing mathematical modeling skills, which can be applied to various real-world situations including sales, pricing models, and productivity tracking.

Equations and Inequations

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.

Linear Functions

A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
