b=11

b equals 11

b=12.29

b equals 12.29

b=−5

b equals negative 5

b=15.71

b equals 15.71

Answer 1

b = 11

(Using b = y − m x. The given choices match if the slope was meant to be −4/7: b = 3 − (−4/7)(14) = 3 + 8 = 11. If m were really −47, then b = 3 − (−47)(14) = 661, which is not an option.)
