Question

The question says to " Write the equation on the line shown in the graph below" Now that I know how to 'draw' on the post... If you respond, I can draw the graph out and you can help me figure out how 'write an equation/"

Answer 1

draw it out

Answer 2

That is tougher then it looks.. lol

Answer 3

I think the first thing I have to do is find the slope right?

Answer 4

Would that be -3,0

Answer 5

or would it be -2,0

Answer 6

@Bweezy5 I'm just watching you guys, if you need help, just ask :]

Answer 7

yea its X-axis: (0, -3) and Y-axis: (0, -2)

Answer 8

@campbell_st i think they want to work it our on they're own so you know

Answer 9

ok..can you find the slope of the line.... or the y- intercept...?

Answer 10

So, I think the slope is 3/5 and the Y intercept is..give me a second to figure it out

Answer 11

o,-2

Answer 12

is algebra 2? cuz if it is i cant help ALOT lol

Answer 13

well @ChristaB the slope would have to be negative for it's going in a downright position

Answer 14

So... I came up with: Y= -3/5x-3

Answer 15

well you might want to look at the slope again rise/run
you go down by 3, but then you only go to the right twice so

Answer 16

ooohhh it is like it i have the answer if you want it christaB just ask me i want to see if you can get tho

Answer 17

can I just make a suggeston based on the initial graph... the intercepts appear to be
(-2, 0) and (0, -3) so you may want to look at the slope again

Answer 18

Hmmmm... I reworked it and this is what I came up with??? Y= -3/2 + 2

Answer 19

that slope is correct, but you had the Y-intercept right the first time :P

Answer 20

ummm you need to combine your new slope and old y-intercept

Answer 21

I am really confused

Answer 22

y = -3/2 + 2 <-- that slope is correct, but the y-intercept is wrong.
Y= -3/5x - 3 <-- that slope is wrong, but the y-intercept is correct.

Answer 23

here are some clues
