The function f is defined by f(x) = mx +b, where m and b are constants. If f(0) = 18 and f(1) = 20, what is the value of m?

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=mx+b

f(0)=m(0)+b=18

18=m(0)+b

Anything times 0 will be 0 so b must equal 18

b=18

f(1)=m(1)+18=20

20-18=m(1)+18-18

2/1=m(1)/1

2=m

$650 per month plus utilities

step-by-step explanation:

just based on the info you gave, it would seem more cost effective to rent at $650 per month plus utilities.   if utilities are, in fact, $150 per month, your monthly living costs would be $800 as opposed to the other option of $825.
