Question

]Identify the correct slope and y intercept of the equation x - 4y = 4.

slope = 4; y intercept at (0, -1)

slope = ; y intercept at (0, 1)

slope = ; y intercept at (0, -1)

slope = -4; y intercept at (0, 1)

Answer 1

yes it is

Answer 2

First, we pu the equation into the slope intercept-form:

y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
y = (1/4)x - 1

so slope is 1/4 and y-intercept is -1 which is (0, -1)

Answer 3

which one

Answer 4

The slope is (1/4, which is m)
The y-intercept is (-1, which is b)

Answer 5

Your choices are missing some characters. You have to go back to where you got the choices and find the one which matches the information I gave you.

Answer 6

so c

Answer 7

i just copied it,

Answer 8

Notice how your choices b and c have nothing after the slope, so they are incomplete as written.

Answer 9

it has to be c becuase the choices with 4 cant b correct so the other one with y =-1 is c

Answer 10

Then it is probably c because that's the only one with the right intercept and a non-misleading slope.

Answer 11

yea because you probably used a picture as the fraction so you cant copy it

Answer 12

So I would just go with c.

Answer 13

nope, no picture.

Answer 14

Sometimes the characters don't copy over. You'll have no problem if you go with c.

Answer 15

yea its definately c

Answer 16

But if you want to know how it's done, just look at my first post.

Answer 17

]Choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (-3, -1) with a slope of 4.

y - 1 = 4(x - 3)

y + 1 = 4(x + 3)

y - 3 = 4(x + 1)

y + 3 = 4(x - 1)

Answer 18

That first post of mine shows you how to match up "m" with slope and "b" with the y-intercept. That slope-intercept form of the line is a very handy formula for your current and further math.

Answer 19

y = mx+b

y = -6x+b ... Plug in the given slope

-3 = -6(-2)+b ... Plug in the given point

Answer 20

b = -15

Answer 21

The best way to solve this is to use a different form for the line, the point-slope formula, otherwise you are working backwards and harder.
\[y - y _{1} = m(x - x _{1)}\]

Answer 22

Here, you put in your point:\[(x _{1}, y _{1})\]which is:

(-3, -1)

So,

y - (-1) = 4(x - (-3))

y + 1 = 4(x + 3)

Answer 23

lol whoops i did the wrong problem lol my bad

Answer 24

So, your choice is the second equation for this problem. This point-slope equation is another one good to memorize

Answer 25

lol and thank you guys♥
