If m < 0 and b > 0, the graph of y = mx + b does not pass through which quadrant?

Sagot :

Step-by-step explanation:

m is the slope, b is the y-intercept (the y-value when x = 0).

m < 0 means the shore is negative, so, the line is going down, when viewing it from left to right. and it intercept the y-axis at a positive (b > 0) value.

so, the line (again, from left to right) goes first through the top left (II) quadrant. then it crosses at a positive y-value into the top right (I) quadrant. and from there then into the bottom right (IV) quadrant.

it therefore never passes through the bottom left (III) quadrant.
