Question

In slope-intercept form, y = mx + b,

Please classify which statements and terms belong with the m and which belong with the b.



Note: Two of the terms or statements do not belong to either category.




M;



B:




Answer choices: Input, Output, Slope, Initial value, Y-intercept,, one-time-fee, Rate of change, Starting amounT, Often indicated in a situation with words such as per, each or every

Answer 1

Let's classify the terms and statements as they relate to **m** (the slope) and **b** (the y-intercept) in the slope-intercept form of a linear equation \( y = mx + b \).

**M (Slope):**
- Slope
- Rate of change
- Often indicated in a situation with words such as per, each, or every

**B (Y-Intercept):**
- Initial value
- Y-intercept
- Starting amount

**Terms/Statements that do not belong to either category:**
- Input
- Output
- One-time fee

So, to summarize:

**M:** Slope, Rate of change, Often indicated in a situation with words such as per, each or every

**B:** Initial value, Y-intercept, Starting amount

**Does not belong:** Input, Output, One-time fee
