Question

find the slope intercept equation of the line that has the given characteristics.
Slope -7 and y-intercept (0,6)

Answer 1

Ok

Answer 2

So here is how proper slope intercept is set k? And bear with me I am not always clear so please let me know k?

Answer 3

so slope intercept is Y equals Mx +B

Answer 4

So your Y will be 6 for this one as it is the set of cords given.

Answer 5

y = mx + b where m is your slope and b is your y int

Answer 6

slope turns into -7 over 1

Answer 7

Ok? Good so far sweetpea?

Answer 8

so 6 = -7/1 and you want b

Answer 9

Which is 0

Answer 10

k?

Answer 11

Let me double check my math but that should be right.

Answer 12

Should be right. Math is right :)

Answer 13

Let me know if that is right or wrong. k?

Answer 14

so, it'll be 6=-7x+0? but for my paper it'll have to be y=-7x+0

Answer 15

Hmmmm might be asking for a different way of doing it. Give me a few to work it out alright?

Answer 16

ok.

Answer 17

b is 6, not 0.

-7 is your m, 6 is your constant.

y = -7x + 6

Answer 18

One of the reasons I detest math. One answer and a thousand bloody ways to do it and each is wrong to someone else's view XD

Answer 19

6 is your y pete. Almost got it.

Answer 20

I'm in college and it is actually one of my better areas.

Answer 21

Here we go sweetpea. As I was saying I had it right :) Write it out for you to see how it goes alright?

Answer 22

now i'm confused again. lol....so it's not going to be y=-7x+6?

Answer 23

Hang on sweetpea and I will explain. :)

Answer 24

ok

Answer 25

Basic slope intercept form is Y=mx +b What you seek is B

Answer 26

Slope is -7 and your points are 0.6

Answer 27

ok, so as of right now we have y=-7x+b still, correct???

Answer 28

In order to gain b you must input the numbers like this

y= 6
mx= 0 and -7

Answer 29

So you write it out to 6=(0)(-7)+b

Answer 30

Anything multiplied by zero is zero.

Answer 31

lol, then let's say i'd hate to go to your college.

Answer 32

Pete please hold on your answer so we do not confuse her.

Answer 33

So that leaves us with 6=0+b which point you subtract 0.

Answer 34

Leaving you with 6=b

Answer 35

Want to check me? Look up slope intercept form but your answer is 6 sweetpea :)

Answer 36

may i ask what college you go to?

Answer 37

Sorry I do not give out that info but it is a good college and again doubt me look it up.

Answer 38

I aced this section thank you and even then I always double check another source. Did this help you sweetpea?

Answer 39

Answer 40

Answer 43

i'd like to post my last 2 questions for help so that i can hurry and be done. i'm going to close this one out so that it's not just sitting around.

Answer 44

Alright.

Answer 45

lol just saying, it can't be all that great if you're struggling with 8th grade arithmetic.

it seems like you can't distinguish between y (your function) and y-int (6).
