Determine the f(x) = mx + b, given the slope and y-intercept of the linear function.
.
f(x) = mx + b
where
m is the "slope"
and
b is the "y-intercept"
.
Since we were given:
slope 2/3, y-intercept -1/4
plug into:
f(x) = mx + b
f(x) = (2/3)x + (-1/4)
f(x) = (2/3)x - 1/4 (this is what they're looking for)
