Answer:
Quadrant III
Step-by-step explanation:
The attached picture shows graph of 4 such linear functions with the conditions given in the problem. ALL of them DO NOT pass through Quadrant III.
The graphs shown are of the functions:
[tex]y=-2x+1[/tex]
[tex]y=-3x+3[/tex]
[tex]y=-x+0.5[/tex]
[tex]y=-5x+2[/tex]
So, any linear function of the form [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] with [tex]m<0[/tex] and [tex]b>0[/tex] does not pass through Quadrant III. Answer choice 3 is correct.
