Question

What is the solution of the system? Use a graph.
y = x + 5
y = –5x – 1

Answer 1

y = mx + b

m is the slope, b is the y intercept. Graph the equations and see where they intersect

Answer 2

i dont know how to do none of this i havent been in shool for over 8yrs this is all new to me

Answer 3

slope in laymens terms is the angle of the line, how steep it is. so a slope of 5 is 5 times steeper than a slope of 1. It is determined from the equation\[m=\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }\]Basically the difference in y terms over difference in x terms. From (x,y).

Rise over Run

Answer 4

y- intercept is where x=0 and y is some number, which can also be 0

Answer 5

sorry i didnt get it back then neither im just trying to get my high school diploma

Answer 6

so i can go to college to get a better job

Answer 7

you still there?

Answer 8

so the equation y = (1)x + 5
y = m x + b
the slope is 1 so the line will look like a 45 degree angle if the graph is labeled by 1's. Now we also know the y-intercept which is 5. So we know the point (0,5).
So this line will be a 45 degree angle passing through the point (0,5)

The slope is a positive 1 so it will be going up from left to right.

If it were negative it will go down from left to right

Answer 9

Now it's your turn. Tell me the slope and y-intercept of equation 2..

Answer 10

kk gimmie a sec

Answer 11

is it a?

Answer 12

i know you pretty muvch told me that answer a not right though

Answer 13

No its no.. Tell me this first so I know you are understanding

Answer 14

Now it's your turn. Tell me the slope and y-intercept of equation 2..

Answer 15

What is the slope of y = -5x - 1

Hint: The slope of this equation is m... y = mx + b
