Question

wtf is a slope?

Answer 1

usually it has snow stuck to it :)

Answer 2

srsly

Answer 3

like a math one

Answer 4

same cocept, it is the change in elevation from one point to another

Answer 5

*concept

Answer 6

thx.... now how d u find the y intersept on a table

Answer 7

a hill has slope, a roof has slope, etc etc etc...

Answer 8

the y interept simply means the palce that the graph crosses the y axis. the y axis is also know as x = 0.

so on a table of values, the y intercept will be the value for whatever the x=0 point will indicate

Answer 9

i love u...

Answer 10

lol ..... your the first ;)

Answer 11

now to make an equation?

Answer 12

to make an equation we need "data" ..... or if we are given an equation we simply need to draw it on a graph

Answer 13

i gots data now how to put it in to an equation?

Answer 14

if we have a table of x and y values, we can probably deduce a relation between x and y to create an equation that would mimic the data. Can you give me the "list" of cpprdinates? (x,y) style

Answer 15

....coordinates I think im haveing a stroke sometimes :/

Answer 16

x -6 -4 -2 0 2 4
y -10 -7-4-1 25

Answer 17

oops wrong style

Answer 18

(-6,-10) (-4,-7)...like this?

Answer 19

yep

Answer 20

ok...lets see if the slope of between the first 2 matches the slope between the first and last..... if they do, we know its a straight line..

Answer 21

ok...

Answer 22

slope = change in "y"/ change in "x"

y1-y2/x1-x2

-4--7 -4+7 3
------- = ----- = ---
-6--10 -6+10 4

our forst two points have a slope of 3/4

Answer 23

no they dont.... it helps if I keep track of these things lol

Answer 24

-10--7 -10+7 -3
-------- = ------- = ---
-6--4 -6+4 -2

slope is 3/2...thats better

Answer 25

ahhhh

Answer 26

y =-10, -7, -4, -1, 25, ___
x= -6, -4, -2, 0, 2, 4

we seem to be missing a value...

Answer 27

y =-10, -7, -4, -1, 2, 5 might be better
x= -6, -4, -2, 0, 2, 4

Answer 28

"y" changes by +3
--------------- all the way so our slope is a line
"x" changes by +2

Answer 29

y = (3/2)x + b; where b is the value of our y intercept..

y = (3/2)x - 1 would be our equation

Answer 30

ok

Answer 31

does it make sense? or whould we "peel the onion of math":)

Answer 32

PEEL

Answer 33

........... ok.

where do you get lost at. Finding the slope by the data given? or putting our information together into an equation?

Answer 34

ok...lets see if the slope of between the first 2 matches the slope between the first and last..... if they do, we know its a straight line.. from their

Answer 35

y =-10(+3), -7(+3), -4(+3), -1(+3).....

with each step here, the value of y increase by a value of "3".

right?

x= -6, -4, -2, 0, 2, 4

Answer 36

yeah

Answer 37

x= -6(+2), -4(+2), -2(+2), 0(+2), 2(+2)...

and the value of "x" increases by "2" right?

Answer 38

like this:
