Question

What is how do I find m and b?

Answer 1

m = 21, b = 5 → y = 21x + 5

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

`y=mx+b`

m - slope

b - y-intercept → (0, b)

The formula of a slope:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

=====================================

From the table we have y-intercept (0, 5) → b = 5 and other point (1, 26).

Calculate the slope:

`m=(26-5)/(1-0)=(21)/(1)=21`
