Question

Okay, so for my online algebra class, this is the instructions I received. (Attached in comments.) I don't understand the second question... Can anyone help me??? (MEDALS GIVEN TO EVERYONE WHO ANSWERS)

Answer 1

ugh .. that aint math, thats english/writing calss material :)

Answer 2

I KNOW.... TRY TELLING MY TEACHER THAT.

Answer 3

the equations all appear to be the same. They are slope intercept forms to start with and then standard form underneath; youd graph them easily by finding 2 points that satisfy the equation. one way is to use the y intercepts and slope out another point to connect a line to

Answer 4

I THINK I SORT OF UNDERSTAND IT, BUT DO YOU KNOW HOW I WOULD SOLVE THE Y=MX+B??? I NEED TO ALSO KNOW THAT.... THANKS, YOU'VE BEEN VERY HELPFUL TO ME TODAY!

Answer 5

what do you mean by "solve the y=mx+b" ? as stated, it just the generic form of the slope intercept formula

Answer 6

i'm not sure how to word it but it need to solve this.... y= 1.3x+3 can you help?

Answer 7

the solution is in the form of either a table of coordinates; or the graph of the line on paper.

Answer 8

something like this

Answer 9

the only other way is to write a few solutions to the equation by inserting values for x and seeing what they make for a y

Answer 10

should i use zero to do so??? (inserting values..)

Answer 11

i dont know what consistitutes a valid answer for the site you are working with; tables are good but then so is a proper graph

Answer 12

i think it wants a graph... I'm just taking freshman algebra online before i start high school, if that helps at all...

Answer 13

determine the y intercept; which is what the "b" stands for in y = mx + b

and move from there down and over as your slope indicates. 1.3 i think you stated just means that for every x value increase, y rises by 1.3

Answer 14

oh, i accidently typed 1.3, i meant 1/3... sorry....

Answer 15

:) different number same concept..

your change in x is the bottom part of 1/3, and the change in y is the top part. which means that as you increase x by 3; you increase y by 1.

x ,y
----
0,3
3,4
6,5
9,6 in that manner

Answer 16

okay, I think i get it now... Thanks a bunch... :)
