I AM BEGGING YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WILL FAIL MATH CLASS! PLEASE! on a cordinate grid draw a line "m" with a slope of 0, and a line "n" with a slope -1. Then draw three other lines thorugh the intersection of lines m and n that have a slope between 0 and -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I WILL BE YOUR FAN!

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Any HORIZONTAL line will do for m. Let's see it that far.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah that is kinda obvious its the other part thats got me stuttered

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Please show your work. It's easy enough to SAY it's obvious. Now show it, please. Add line n if you like. Let's take it as fast as you can draw it.

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Okay, that's a nice line m. Now, let's work on the line n with a slope of 1. It should be diagonal - exactly half way between horizontal and vertical.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what would that be a negative slope or positive?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Closer. That is a slope of -1. You need a slope of +1. It should go UP as it goes RIGHT.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no a slope of -1 the problem asked for -1 but its confusing

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

I see. The line was broken funny. Okay, then you have it. Now, we need three lines with slope between 0 and -1. One of them is easy to describe. From what you have, draw the line containing the Origin and the intersection of m and n.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its a vertical line? or what? or maybe a parallel to line m?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am sorry, i am sleepy today....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or tonight

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

No, it's not vertical. Your intersection point of m an dn is somewhere around, say, (-4,-5). You need the line that passes through (-4,-5) and (0,0).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it woul be like this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh i won't draw
