Question

Slope 0 and y intercept (0,6)
equation is y=?

Answer 1

Well, do you know in the equation of a line
\[y=m(x-h)+k\]
what each letter means?

Answer 2

its been a long time

Answer 3

Well, let's try to figure it out. How about this. Given two points, what's the slope of the line they make?

Answer 4

y=mx+b

Answer 5

im wrong

Answer 6

No... that's an equation for the line. How about you tell me this. If you have
\[p_1=(x, y)\]
and
\[p_2=(h, k)\], then what is the slope s you get between them?

Answer 7

she just gave the slope, so that's a line

Answer 8

0

Answer 9

all she has to do is plug it in the slope-intercept formula

Answer 10

Hmm... nvm. I was trying to teach, @panlac01 . Plug-n-chug is easy.

Answer 11

im working on a test which deadline is by 11pm pst and im desperate for any help i can get

Answer 12

listen to VF

Answer 13

but you almost nailed it, candrie :)

Answer 14

Okay, @candrie , when you're at the y-intercept, what's the coordinate pair?

Answer 15

math is tough for me
but i am awesome in english and everything else

Answer 16

Oh the problem gives it to you. What is the y-intercept pair?

Answer 17

0,6?

Answer 18

yes

Answer 19

Do you agree that the y-intercept is on the line, @candrie ?

Answer 20

yes

Answer 21

in the end, remember to connect your final solution to its graph

Answer 22

If a point is on a line, then its x and y values, when inserted into the formula you gave,\[y = m x +b\], must hold true.

Answer 23

So put in the y-intercept's values into the formula.

Answer 24

y=0(0)+6

Answer 25

Well, I was trying to get you to say:
6=m(0)+b, so b = 6. But since you know what b and m are already, what's your question?

Answer 26

just needed the equation

Answer 27

Well it is
y = m x + b. The difference is that my equation is
y = m (x - h) + k
But they're really the same because
y = m x - mh + k
y = m x +(k-mh)
and k-mh =b

Answer 28

y=mx+b
y=0x+6
y=_____

Answer 29

y=x+6?

Answer 30

Multiply by 0...

Answer 31

anything multiplied to zero is _____

Answer 32

0

Answer 33

therefore
y=0x+6 (zero multiplied by x, plus six)
y=_____

Answer 34

the final answer is your equation, the whole thing

Answer 35

y=6

Answer 36

o wait

Answer 37

y=0x+6?

Answer 38

you got it already, but 0x can be further simplified by taking it away of the universe

Answer 39

ok

Answer 40

out of the universe

Answer 41

my answer will be y=0+6?

Answer 42

or
y=6
