Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line shown. http://roads.advancedacademics.com/contentserver/content/roadssection/277812/questions/4-hw7/slope_intercept_2.gif A. y = 2/3 x + 2 B. y = 3/2 x - 4 C. y = 3x - 4 D. y = 2x - 1

OpenStudy (aripotta):

find the slope between (0,-4) and (2,-1)

OpenStudy (aripotta):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok I got 3/2 now what

OpenStudy (aripotta):

which choice has 3/2 as the slope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b

OpenStudy (aripotta):

so that's your answer :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me on this question Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line with the given slope and point: slope = 3 and (1, -2). A. y = 3x - 5 B. y = 3x - 2 C. y = 3x + 1 D. y = 3x + 3

OpenStudy (aripotta):

put the information in point-slope form, then change it into slope-intercept form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i make it into point slope form

OpenStudy (aripotta):

point-slope form is y - y1 = m(x - x1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know that but how to I fill that in to then make it slope intercept form

OpenStudy (aripotta):

you put the numbers in first, then you can rearrange to make it into slope-intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where would I put the numbers

OpenStudy (aripotta):

they give you the point (1, -2). so -2 would be y1 and 1 would be x1. they also give you the slope, 3. so 3 would be m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would y and x not y1 and x1 but y and x become 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also would it look like this y--2=3(x-1)

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yes. y + 2 = 3(x - 1). now distribute the 3 into the parentheses

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y+2=(3-1)

OpenStudy (aripotta):

no, to distribute, you have to multiply 3 with x, and 3 with -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so y+2=3-3

OpenStudy (aripotta):

it would be 3x, not just 3 :) y + 2 = 3x - 3. now, what should we do to get it in the form of y = mx + b? it's our last step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract 2 from each side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would that be the right step

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's either b or c

OpenStudy (aripotta):

so the answer is..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when i calculate it it comes up with y=3x-1 but that isn't an answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did i do that wrong

OpenStudy (aripotta):

what's -3 - 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so a

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks if I have any other questions I will send you a message

OpenStudy (aripotta):

mmk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

on this question I came up with c is that right Write the equation y - 2 = 4(x + 5) in standard form. A. 4x + y = 7 B. 4x - y = 3 C. 4x - y = -22

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yes, it's c :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this question answer c Write the point-slope form of the equation passing through (5, -1) with a slope of 6. A. y-1=6(x+5) B. y+5=6(x-1) C. y+1=6(x-5) D. y-5=6(x+1)

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yes, that's also c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this c to Find the direct variation equation which passes through (0, 0) and (4, 1). A. y = 4x B. y = -4x C. y = 1/4 x D. y = -1/4 x

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yes. it's c lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this one d Write an equation in slope intercept form of the line that passes through (4, 1) and (5, -1). A. y = -4x + 1 B. y = -1/2 x + 9 C. y = 4x + 1 D. y = -2x + 9

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think this is c Which of the direct variation equations has this graph? http://roads.advancedacademics.com/contentserver/content/roadssection/277812/questions/4-hw7/direct_variation_7.gif A. y = 2/3 x B. y = 3x C. y = 1/2 x D. y = 2x

OpenStudy (aripotta):

that's a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how ?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

find the slope between (0,0) and (3,2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok found it thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this b Find the direct variation equation of the graph through the points (0, 0) and (1, -2). Write in y=kx form. A. y = 2x B. y = -2x C. y = 1/2 x D. y = -1/2 x

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yes, b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How would I do this step by step Write the slope-intercept equation of the line perpendicular to y = 5/2 x - 2, which passes through the point (0, 2). A. y = 5x + 2 B. y = -2/5x + 2 C. y = 2x + 5 D. y = 1/2x + 5

OpenStudy (aripotta):

perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes. so our line should have a slope of -2/5

OpenStudy (aripotta):

now we can put that info into point-slope form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b

OpenStudy (aripotta):

oh lol. you didn't even need to do any math

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its b

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would this be c Write the slope-intercept form of the equation parallel to y = 7x + 2, which passes through the point (1, -3). A. y = 7x - 10 B. y = -1/7 x + 2 C. y = 7x - 3 D. y = -7x + 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

well it wouldn't be d. parallel lines share the same slope, so it's either a or c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think c

OpenStudy (aripotta):

it's a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok how would i get that on my own? step by step

OpenStudy (aripotta):

put it into point-slope form, then change it to slope-intercept form

OpenStudy (aripotta):

y + 3 = 7(x - 1) y + 3 = 7x - 7 y = 7x - 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok would this be b The slope of the line perpendicular to y = 3/4 x - 7 is A. 3/4 B. -4/3 C. 4/3 D. -3/4

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yes, that's b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how would i figure this out Is a shape with the vertices (2, 4), (2, -2), (-1, -2), and (-2, 4) best classified as a parallelogram, rectangle, or neither?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

ugh. i hate these questions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I almost started to cry when I saw that question

OpenStudy (aripotta):

lol. i would plot it out first before i did the distance formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://roads.advancedacademics.com/contentserver/content/roadssection/277823/questions/5-hw1/662.gif A. n is greater than or equal to -8 B. n is greater than or equal to 8 C. n is greater than or equal to 2 D. n is greater than or equal to -2

OpenStudy (aripotta):

which do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yes :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which statement is best represented by http://roads.advancedacademics.com/contentserver/content/roadssection/277825/questions/5-hw2/677.gif A. One fourth times a number is at least 12. B. One fourth times a number is greater than 12. C. One fourth times a number is at most 12. D. One fourth times a number is less than 12.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was think b or c

OpenStudy (aripotta):

at most means less than or equal to

OpenStudy (aripotta):

so it's not c

OpenStudy (aripotta):

and it would be b if it there wasn't a line underneath the inequality

OpenStudy (aripotta):

but since there is...it's not b

OpenStudy (aripotta):

and we know it's not d...

OpenStudy (aripotta):

so it must be...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solve the following: b + 4 < -8. A. b < -12 B. b < -4 C. b > 12 D. b > 4

OpenStudy (aripotta):

which do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b

OpenStudy (aripotta):

no. what's -8 - 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-12

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yes, so it's a. can you make a new question thread now? lol sorry, but when it gets too long, i start to lag

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks and ok
