Consider the function f(x) = mx + b, where m > 0.

If the value of b decreases, but the value of m remains the same, what will happen to the x-intercept?

A) The x-intercept decreases.

B) The x-intercept increases.

C) The x-intercept approaches zero.

D) The x-intercept remains the same

A) The x-intercept decreases.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, for the function f(x) = mx + b, if the value of b decreases, but the value of m remains the same, The x-intercept decreases.

For example

For b=2, m =1 and x =0 (since the y-value of a linear equation when it crosses the x-axis is 0 )

f(x) =0(1)+2 =2 (x-intercept)

For b= 1 (b decrease) ,m =1 and x =0

F(x) = 0(1) +1 = 1 (x_intercept also decreases)

So, the correct option is A) The x-intercept decreases.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

the answer is simply just 6n add the two together as they have an n
