Type the second equation from the group you selected and change the equation into slope-intercept form. Be sure to show all of your work. Identify the slope and y-intercept of the equation.

mathslover (mathslover):

so we have to calculate that all for the second equation: \[\LARGE{-3x+2y=8}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also can you teach me how to get the answer

mathslover (mathslover):

ok : first of all we will find the y-intercept of that equation ok?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

mathslover (mathslover):

so suppose if we are told to find the y intercept of equation x = 2y , then in this case the first step should be , put x = 0

mathslover (mathslover):

what r u getting for y ?

mathslover (mathslover):

0 = 2y can u solve for y ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes wouldnt 2 = y

mathslover (mathslover):

no .. no .. see whenever you are told that a = bc and solve for c , then divide both sides by b : \[\large{\frac{a}{b}=\frac{bc}{b}}\] \[\large{\frac{a}{b}=\frac{\cancel{b}^1c}{\cancel{b}^1}}\] hence : \[\large{\frac{a}{b}=c}\]

mathslover (mathslover):

can you tell me now if 0 = 2y then y = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = 1 ? i think

mathslover (mathslover):

no .. : \[\large{0=2y}\] \[\large{\frac{0}{2}=\frac{2y}{2}}\] \[\large{\frac{0}{2}=\frac{\cancel{2}^1y}{\cancel{2}^1}}\] \[\large{\frac{0}{2}=y}\]

mathslover (mathslover):

can u tell me what is 0/2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0

mathslover (mathslover):

good so y = 0 , right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes :D

mathslover (mathslover):

hence y intercept = 0

mathslover (mathslover):

got it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay was that the y intercept for the probelm were doing now or was that a example??

mathslover (mathslover):

oh yes .. so can u find that y intercept for the equation given : -3x+2y=8

mathslover (mathslover):

put x = 0 and find y ..

mathslover (mathslover):

tell me what r u getting?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so the first step we would do is multoply -3 * 0?

mathslover (mathslover):

yes..

mathslover (mathslover):

and -3 * 0 =?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0 of course lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now we have 2y = 8 ?

mathslover (mathslover):

yes ..

mathslover (mathslover):

divide both sides by 2 ,, what r u getting for y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = 4

mathslover (mathslover):

good .. hence this is the y intercept of the equation , -3x+2y=8

mathslover (mathslover):

got this part?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes :D

mathslover (mathslover):

.. ok now shall i come to the topic : slope ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

mathslover (mathslover):

do you know how to differentiate?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know that slope intercept form is y = mx + B

mathslover (mathslover):

ok .. so leave differentiation : do you know ... : slope = \(\large{\frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2-x_1}}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes :D

mathslover (mathslover):

ok .. given : -3x+2y = 8 1) put x = 0 then y = 4 2) put x =2 then y = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do i put for question mark?

mathslover (mathslover):

-3x + 2y = 8 put x = 2 -3(2) +2y = 8 then y =?

mathslover (mathslover):

can u solve for y ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think

mathslover (mathslover):

ok ... so what is y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i cant get it

mathslover (mathslover):

-3(2) + 2y = 8 -6 + 2y= 8 2y = 8+6 2y = 14 y = 14/2 = 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im smart haha

mathslover (mathslover):

yes .. so we get 1) when x = 0 then y = 4 2) when x = 2 then y = 7

mathslover (mathslover):

can u draw the graph for this ?

mathslover (mathslover):

|dw:1343825976770:dw|
