Making the simplistic assumption that the dissolved NaCl(s) does not affect the volume of the solvent water, determine the constants m and b in the equation Molarity = m⋅density + b that relates the NaCl molarity to the NaCl(aq) density. Take the density of water to be 1.00 g/mL and the molar mass of NaCl to be 58.5 g/mol.

Are we to do this with made up numbers or do you have values to insert? If you have values, take any two sets which will give you two equations, then solve them simultaneously.
