Answer 3

The y-intercept is where the graph cuts the y-axis. Read that point from the graph and post here. Then, we'll have to figure the slope.

Answer 4

-3

Answer 5

Okay. We'll use the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line: y = mx + b where b is the y-intercept and m is the slope.

Answer 6

So far, we have y = mx -3.
One way to think about slope is the change in y over the change in x.
@elexusvanderhorst How have you been computing slope?
We'll do what you already know although I'm thinking we can read the slope off the graph. Tell me what you think.

Answer 7

ive always been confused on how to do slope

Answer 8

We'll read it from this graph. I'll post a diagram shortly.
Before that, recall that slope has to do with the rate of change of y with respect to x. If the slope of a line is 5 over 7, then that means every time x moves 7 units to the right, the corresponding value of y moves up 5 units.

Answer 9

For a line, slope is constant. In this problem, as x moves 2 to the right, y goes up by 1. So, the slope is 1/2.

So, what is the equation of the line in y = mx + b form? Recall that you already found the intercept (So far, we have y = mx -3) .

Answer 10

Look at the diagram for a "picture" of slope.

Answer 11

y=1/2x-3

Answer 12

omg dude I <3 ur pic

Answer 13

me?

Answer 14

@alahrichi1 thanks i love one direction

Answer 15

no santa claus

Answer 16

me 2
fanned u becuz of it

Answer 17

lol thanks

Answer 18

@elexusvanderhorst yes for y=1/2x-3. I might write it as y = (1/2) x - 3.
I <3 ur pic --> I thought she was talking about my diagram.

@Directrix thank you for your help

Answer 20

Glad to help.
