Question

Please HELP

Answer 1

right 6, down 2.... what's the slope?

Answer 2

um?

Answer 3

look at your x-intercept... what is it?

Answer 4

y=6x+2
maybe?

Answer 5

x=???

Answer 6

this is sloping down so it must be negative....

Answer 7

but where is your x-intercept?

Answer 8

6?

Answer 9

really?

Answer 10

-6 you mean...

Answer 11

No.. Im seriously dont knon that... hahah
Sorry @dpaInc

Answer 12

it's on the negative side of the x-axis... so the x-intercept is x=-6

Answer 13

now to get to the y-intercept, you gave to go "right 6, down 2".... agreed?

Answer 14

@dpaInc how about this if its vertical what would it be?

Answer 15

that's called an undefined slope.....

Answer 16

do you know the definition of slope? it is a fraction........ and a fraction has no value if the denominator is 0...

Answer 17

so it would be y=3x+0
or its actually undefined

Answer 18

no.. all vertical lines have the equation x= [some number, the x-intercept]

Answer 19

what problem are we talking about ?
that last post is referring to that last screenshot you posted.

Answer 20

still need help trexy?

Answer 21

Alright. Here's the form of slope.\[Slope = \frac{rise}{run} = \frac{y}{x}\]

Answer 22

Also, here's what a positive slope looks like:
Negative Slope:

Answer 23

If the absolute value of slope is greater than 1 i.e. 2, then the is like this.
See how the line is steeper than the line y = x?
If the absolute value of slope is less than 1 but greater than 0, then the line is not as steep as y = x.
