OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1353130311663:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, the slope is positive 8.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-40

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use it to find the y value when m = (48.5 - y1)/(1-0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-40... wow. that's quite a guess...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe just calculate it...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did it on my sheet.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

m=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

- 40 or positive.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8.5 = 48.5 -y1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y1 =?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

something is wrong in my calculations, is 8.5 the slope?
