Question

What is the slope intercept equation of the line below?

Answer 1

@jim_thompson5910 @Zelda

Answer 2

Hint: use y = mx+b

Answer 3

m = slope

Answer 4

b = y-intercept

Answer 5

@jim_thompson5910 what's that again?

Answer 6

example:

say the slope is 2 and the y-intercept was 3

so

y = mx+b

y = 2x + 3

would be your equation

Answer 7

so would it be y= 2/3 + * ?? @jim_thompson5910

Answer 8

no that was just my example

Answer 9

@Zelda

Answer 10

use the slope and y-intercept given in the problem

Answer 11

* + 8

Answer 12

ok you got that part correct, just not the slope

Answer 13

Oh okay so what's the slope? @jim_thompson5910

Answer 14

it's given in the problem, have another look

Answer 15

no, it says

"slope: _____"

what goes in the blank?

Answer 16

oh 1/2 ? @jim_thompson5910

Answer 17

yep

Answer 18

so your equation is _____

Answer 19

y= 8 + 2/3 ?? @jim_thompson5910

Answer 20

@Zelda

Answer 21

more like

y = 1/2x + 8

Answer 22

y = mx + b

y = 1/2x + 8 ... replace m with 1/2, b with 8

Answer 23

m is your slope

b is your y-intercept
