Chapter 3.1, Problem 7AYU

To determine

For the graph of the linear function $f\left(x\right)=mx+b,m$ is____________

And $b$ is the ___________

Answer to Problem 7AYU

For the graph of the linear function $f\left(x\right)=mx+b,m$ is the slope and $b$ is $y$ intercept.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  $f\left(x\right)=mx+b$

For the graph of the linear function $f\left(x\right)=mx+b,m$ is the slope and $b$ is $y$ intercept.

Conclusion:

Hence, $m$ is the slope and $b$ is $y$ intercept.
