A shipping company charges a fixed amount plus a certain amount per pound to ship a package. The total cost y, in dollars, to ship a package is given by the equation y = 3x + 5, where x is the weight of the package in pounds.From the equation, write the Rate of change,m, and initial value,b, (explain the answer) (MUST)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

  • y = 3x + 5

Compare this with slope-intercept form:

  • y = mx + b

We see that:

  • Rate of change is m = 3
  • Initial value is b = 5

Given equation

  • y=3x+5

Compare the equation with slope intercept form of the line

  • y=mx+b

  • Rate of change=slope=m=3
  • Initial value=b=5
