1. A linnear relationship is a relationship that goes up at a constant rate. Variable M is the coefficient in the problem. The coefficient is the number in an equation that multiplys the variable. Variable b is the y-intercept. This equation would be a linnear relationship. It is multiplied by the same number each time and goes up steadily.
2.a. A table or graph for a linnear relationship can be used to solve a problem because it shows all the information needed for the problem. The graph will show where the line goes up with the numbers. The table will show all the numbers and data organized.
b. I used an equation to solve a problem by putting the numbers in the equation and doing each part step by step. for example, when i needed to figure out an amount of money someone made babysitting for a certain amount of hours.
