Question

http://picpaste.com/Capture-AQwsVPS5.PNG what is it the answer?? a b c or d the question is on the picture

Answer 1

y = mx + b, you need to solve for b
so: -6 = -1/7(5) + b

Answer 2

the answer is between b and a not sure wat is it

Answer 3

Your just guessing, did you try solving for b? Do you know how? would you like me to teach you?

Answer 4

sure why not i suck at this subject

Answer 5

ok cool :)

so y = mx + b is the standard formula for finding slope or y-intercept. The m is the slope and the b is the y-intercept. The x and y and slope are what you already know (slope = -1/7) (x= 5) (y -6) so all you need to do is replace:

y = mx + b (with what you know:)
-6 = -1/7(5) + b
and solve for b (y-intercept)

so the first thing you need to do is times 1/7 * 5 do you know what that is?

Answer 6

is 0.7142

Answer 7

thats whatt i got

Answer 8

sorry i got disconnected,

okay we need it as a fraction so think of it as

\[\frac{-1}{7} * \frac{5}{1}\]

Answer 9

or \[\frac{-1 * 5}{7 * 1}\]

Answer 10

what's -1 times 5?

Answer 11

-5

Answer 12

right! so the numerator is -5, and 7 * 1 is just 7 right, so now our equation looks like this:

-6 = -5/7 + b

so now we need to get the b by itself, so should we add it to both sides or subtract it on both sides?

Answer 13

dude can i get just answer plz we doing this question for like so long i have so many of them to finish
