graph the equation and identify the y-concept y=1/4x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did you mean the Y intercept?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Awesome. Ok, to graph this, let's work on this together. First things first, let's make a table of values: x | y -------

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actuallly, wait. Have they taught you about slope yet?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Awesome. So let's start with x = 0. If you plug in x, what y value pops out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In other words, (1/4) times 0 = what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good! So your first point is 0,0. Is this anywhere on the y axis?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There's your first answer. The y intercept is at (0,0) Now, we use slope. Do you know what our slope is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got the answer, thanks

No problemo. Best of luck!
