Question

1. FOOTBALL One football season, the Carolina
Panthers won 4 more games than they lost. This can
be represented by y = x + 4, where x is the number of
games lost and y is the number of games won. Write
this linear equation in standard form.

Answer 1

For this case we have the following equation:

$y = x + 4$

By definition, the standard form of a linear function is given by:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

m: It is the slope of the line

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

So, if we have: $y = x + 4$

Its standard form is: $y = (1) x + 4$ which is equivalent to $y = x + 4$

$m = 1\\b = 4$

Answer:

Its standard form is $y = x + 4$
