i mean like:
y=mx+b so what is m in this case?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
idk???
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok here this problem might be a little confusing..... so take this for example:
y=3x+5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the number before x is 3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that's is your slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=mx+b
m= slope
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok....
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So in this case:y=x-3
so there's no number before x so it's one. because x times 1 is still x.....
OpenStudy (anonymous):
does that help a little more?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so C is the answer???

yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
because in the equation: y=mx+b b is the y intercept...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
