A linear relationship. Added: And a function.
It is a linear relationship between two variables.
The straight line equation is: y = 2x
If you mean 3x+4y = 12 then y = -3/4x +4
If you mean: y = mx+c then m is the slope and c is the y intercept
A linear relationship. Added: And a function.
It is a linear relationship between two variables.
You're talking about y=mx+b which is the standard line equation.
The straight line equation is: y = 2x
The m is the slope in the y=mx+b or the number before the x.
If you mean 3x+4y = 12 then y = -3/4x +4
If you mean: y = mx+c then m is the slope and c is the y intercept
The satellite dish is a parabolic reflector. A parabola cannot be modeled by a linear equation because a linear equation is one that graphs as a straight line. It takes a second degree expression to plot it, and that means a quadratic equation.
If you mean: y = mx+b then it is the formula for a straight line equation whereas m is the slope and b is the y intercept
That will be difficult to do since there is no diagram below.
If you mean: y = mx+b then m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
If you mean y = mx+b then the slope is m and the y intercept is b
