Consider the linear equation y=20x+45.

1 answer

The linear equation you provided is in the slope-intercept form, which is given by \( y = mx + b \), where \( m \) is the slope and \( b \) is the y-intercept.

For the equation \( y = 20x + 45 \):

  • The slope \( m \) is \( 20 \). This means that for every increase of 1 unit in \( x \), \( y \) increases by 20 units.
  • The y-intercept \( b \) is \( 45 \). This means that the line crosses the y-axis at the point \( (0, 45) \).
