What is the equation of the following line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hartnn (hartnn):

which 1 do u think it is ?

hartnn (hartnn):

m=y/x=.. ?

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

it goes through the origin, so just do what you did last time. i believe in youuuu

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it A?

hartnn (hartnn):

m=y/x = -2/10 =... ?

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

it is not. this isnt any different than the last problem. divide y by x and you will arrive at the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B ! :)

hartnn (hartnn):

nopes, how u got -5 ?

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

you are guessing! do what hartnn showed. -2 / 10. simplify that expression

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I divided y and x no i didn't guess :(

hartnn (hartnn):

how nay times does 2 go into 10 ?

hartnn (hartnn):

*many

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 5.2 but there's no 5.2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

- 5.2

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

i think you divided x by y. remember (x,y) for an ordered pair.

hartnn (hartnn):

:O 2*5 =10 right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d ?

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

yes! now explain how you got there.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did -2/ 10 and got -5.2 which reduces to -1/5 in a fraction :)

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

-2/10 = -1/5 or -0.2, not -5.2
