In the linear equation \(7 + 4x + 8 + 13x = y\), the terms involving \(x\) represent the linear relationship between \(x\) and \(y\). To put it in the standard form \(y = mx + b\), where \(m\) is the slope and \(b\) is the y-intercept, we need to rearrange the equation:
\(7 + 4x + 8 + 13x = y\)
Combine like terms:
\(15 + 17x = y\)
This equation is already in the form \(y = mx + b\), where:
- \(m\), the coefficient of \(x\), is \(17\).
- \(b\), the constant term, is \(15\).
So, \(m = 17\) and \(b = 15\).
