Question

write the slope-intercept inequality of the line!!!

(6,3) (0,-1)

Answer 1

y=mx+b

Answer 2

im confused...............the slope is -2/6 right?

Answer 3

(6,3) (0,-1) need the slope, it is
\[\frac{3-(-1)}{6-0}=\frac{4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}\] then you know the y intercept is \((0,-1)\) so you can put in in slope intercept form right away
\[y=\frac{2}{3}x-1\]

Answer 4

slope is positive

Answer 5

you have \((0,-1)\) and \((6,3)\) so 6 units right (from 0 to 6) and 4 units UP from -1 to 3

Answer 6

isnt it 1-3/0-6?

Answer 7

or use \[\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\]

Answer 8

slope is -4/-6

Answer 9

you can do it that way, but your first coordinate is -1 not 1 right?

Answer 10

so confusing!!!

Answer 11

\[\frac{-1-3}{0-6}=\frac{-4}{-6}=\frac{2}{3}\]

Answer 12

what are your choices

Answer 13

ok so if the slope is 2/3

Answer 14

yes,

Answer 15

correct

Answer 16

then what do i do after?

Answer 17

y=2/3x+b
how do i get b?

Answer 18

y=mx+b

Answer 19

this line you wrote
isnt it 1-3/0-6? is wrong
it should be -1-3/0-6

Answer 20

what are your choices

Answer 21

you are given b in the question. b is the y intercept, which is the second coordinate when \(x=0\)

Answer 22

oh wait so

Answer 23

y=2/3x+1?

Answer 24

since you were given one point is \((0,-1)\) you know \(b=-1\)
