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?

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

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 ?

mathslover (mathslover):
good so y = 0 , right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes :D
mathslover (mathslover):
hence y intercept = 0
mathslover (mathslover):
got it?

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

.. 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 =?
