write an equation in slope intercept form of each line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know how to find slope by looking at a graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where the line intersects at the x & y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use y=mx+c where m is the slope and c as y intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk the slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nevermind

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the slope is for the first one positive 0.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be -2/3 start at a point on the graph, and how many units you move up or down over how many units you move left or right is the slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To get to another point

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats the second ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3,5 is the first ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

start at the point (0,5) you go down 2 and right 3 units to get to (3,3) so the slope is -2/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Were talking about the first graph right now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oohh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you have the slope -2/3 where does the graph cross the y axis?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right, now plug the slope and y intercept into y=mx+b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5=-2/3x+b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, b is the y intercept y=-2/3x+5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k. thanks so where do i start for the second one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

at y ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Same thing just a different graph, you can start at any point on the graph and find the slope. Use (0,4) and (-2,3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=-2/3+4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, you have to find the slope first. the slope isnt the same on this one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4/3 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just use the slope formula, i gave you two points so to find the slope you do (3-4)/(-2-0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk why this is so hard for me lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats 3-4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I cant just give answers...try to understand it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the slope is 1/2 !
