Find the slope and the y-intercept. y=4.8x-5 The slope is?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

whts the numbr before x?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4.8

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

so its the slope.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4.8x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that is the answer?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

No, just the number.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

damn it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How did you get to be so smart???

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Lol, Idk..IM BORN SMART.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

must be nice! so what is the y-intercept? (0,?)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am smart in other areas, but I SUCK at math.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

hehe. so equation is y = mx + b "b" is the number which is the y-intercept!

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Lol, all of my students have the same problem, idk y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have students? Are you a teacher?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Lol, im a student my self, but i teach people too!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I gotcha. Well you are awesome and I love you. but I still did not gt what the y-intercept is of this problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mx + bb?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

God I feel so stupid.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

hehe, thnks! :)

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

No, let me explain!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You make me smile.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually, you make me chuckle.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Lets compare the equations: y = m x + b y =4.8x - 5 the number just before x is the Slope! the last number which is b is the y intercept. So here that number is -5.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Lol, i make all my students that! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are just so smart. I hate you...LOL

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):
