how

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@AriPotta

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

Start at the y intercept.

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

Where does the line fall onto the y intercept what number?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 2?

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

Oh no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then wat?

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

Do you see the line goes through 1 on the y-intercept?

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

It literally touches and goes through.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i see it

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

So 1 is the intercept..

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

y=mx+b We have so far y=mx+1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so wat do i do after tht???

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

Now from the intercept do Rise over Run... how far do you go up and over to get to the next point?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think 1/2??

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

I agree it goes up 1 but it does not go over 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i write mx+1=1?

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

m = slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 1x+1?

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

Yup.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then thts all? @MathLegend

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

y=x+1 Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the one cancels?

OpenStudy (mathlegend):

1x is the same is as just putting x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh
