1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to find the values of mm and cc in the equation y=mx+cy = mx + c for the given line R. mm represents the slope of the line, and cc represents the y-intercept.

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to identify two points on the line from the graph. Two clear points are (0,4)(0, -4) and (1,1)(1, -1).
The y-intercept is the value of yy when x=0x = 0. From the point (0,4)(0, -4), we can directly read off the y-intercept, which is c=4c = -4.
Next, we calculate the slope mm using the two points (x1,y1)=(0,4)(x_1, y_1) = (0, -4) and (x2,y2)=(1,1)(x_2, y_2) = (1, -1).
The formula for the slope mm is:
m=y2y1x2x1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
Plugging in the coordinates:
m=1(4)10=1+41=31=3m = \frac{-1 - (-4)}{1 - 0} = \frac{-1 + 4}{1} = \frac{3}{1} = 3
Therefore, m=3m = 3.

3. Final Answer

m=3m = 3
c=4c = -4
