HELP MEH

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You want an equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes or no answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Er. I can get your an equation from that data, but you need to ask a question to get a yes or no answer in return.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is the above relationship a linear function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Welllllllll.... What does linear mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its no right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are guessing. Do you have any idea of where to start?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then what do you have so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its no because it dosent go in right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have two points: (0,46) and (1,39) does that have a linear slope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And why not?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

becuase 0,46 and 1,39 dont have a leaner slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, what is the slope of those two points?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmmmm i dont no?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D':

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay: So slope = \[\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x_{1} }\] Pick two points and put them into that formula. Then pick another two and see if they match.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i goto go to bed can u pls answer it so i can continue tmr

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. This will take you less then 3 seconds.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

IF I tell you then you leave with nothing gained.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OMG THE ANSWER IS YES XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why would you say that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

srry texting some one els

OpenStudy (anonymous):

steam freind

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So then why do they say that it is yes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

becase they match

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What matches?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

vs 1 and vs 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

From what to what has a slope matching what to what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

X2 and v 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What? Use the context of the problem to define what you are saying.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-_-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill take it as a no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o- 24 answers no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its no right??????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You do realize that if you took the time to do what I posted 5 minutes ago you would've realized how simple this is? Find the slope from (0,46) to (1,39) and then from (1,39) to (2,32) and see what each is.

OpenStudy (nubeer):

try finding the difference between consectutive points.. means point1 -point 2 then point 3-point 2 if both have the same value then your relation is linear , if not same answer then its not linear.
