Thank you so much! you earned yourself a fan :D

frostbite · Answer

Think of it as this way: every time you see a unit with fx. money/hour, cats/time, dogs/train.... you know that is your m value becuase m is defined as delta Y/Delta X so it is the y unit divided with the x unit

anonymous · Answer

Very easy

anonymous · Answer

The y=mx+b is a pretty simple equation once you understand it. The Y is going to be the answer once the equation is solved. The X is the variable that changes. So for 2, the values are 0, 20 and 40.

anonymous · Answer

The M in this problem is what the X is multiplied by, so in this problem, it is 6.75. 

y=6.75x+25
