@Chelsea04 @Kuoministers @UnkleRhaukus

kuoministers · Answer

to find the y intercept x needs to be equal to 0

anonymous · Answer

she's asking for the slope
m in this case is -1 because -x is the same as -1*x

unklerhaukus · Answer

$$y=mx+b$$

$m$ is the slope

$b$ is the $y$-value of the $y$-intercept

the position $(x,y)$ of the y-intercept is $(0,b)$

anonymous · Answer

so sorry @Chelsea04 !! I'm looking for the y- intercept insted oops xD That's what i meant to say

anonymous · Answer

@UnkleRhaukus so the y intercept is just 0 ? :)

anonymous · Answer

no, that is the coordinate point, so (0,b) you just insert the b value so the intercept is 72, you just need to write it as a coordinate point

unklerhaukus · Answer

an order pair is two numbers

anonymous · Answer

which means that it is (0, 72)
ordered pair is the same as coordinate point which you find on graphs

anonymous · Answer

How do you do that @UnkleRhaukus ? :)

anonymous · Answer

@Chelsea04 yeah!

kuoministers · Answer

well apparantly chealsea just gave away answer XDD

kuoministers · Answer

but pretty good explaination :)

anonymous · Answer

(x,y): (0,72)

anonymous · Answer

anonymous · Answer

lol

anonymous · Answer

no, you write it is (0,72)

anonymous · Answer

well, yes but write it is (0,72)
