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

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

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

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

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

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

whats 3-4?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
What?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I cant just give answers...try to understand it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the slope is 1/2 !
