You can put this solution on YOUR website! This is a linear function showing a relationship between x and y.
For y = mx + c, we have y expressed as a function of x, whereby any increase in x is calculated to be an (m times x) increase in y. The c value is the value of y when x = 0.
If this function is graphed as a line, m is the slope of that line and c is the y-intercept.
what does the equation y = mx + c mean?
It means a straight line with slope 3 and y-intercept (0,c)
For instance y = 2x - 3 is a straight line with slope 2 and
y-intercept (0,-3), and has this graph:
For instance y = -4x + 1 is a straight line with slope -4 and
y-intercept (0,1), and has this graph:
