can anyone show me how to graph slopes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Slope is basically graphed as rise over run. So if your slope is 5/3, (says you start with (0,0)) You go up 5 units for every 3 units you go right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the formula for slope is y2-y1/x2-x1...do u get it @rachy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah but the thing im looking at for an example is like in positive numbers but its on the negative line and idk how to get that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i know that but on a graph im doing inequalities and i know how to get the stuff but i cant do it without being able to find the slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Y<2x+5 2x-y<4 thats what i have to graph and idk how to do it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the 2nd one you change it to y<-2x+4 right??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats standard form right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Best way is y=mx+b slope intercept form. Look it up.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yeah i know that! duh well i need to graph those inequalities do you know how to do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know that the > or < with the line under it means that the line is solid and the > or < without the line under it means the line is dotted

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pic points to compare if it greater than or not. =<, => are solid lines > and < are dashed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the direction of the < doesnt effect the state of the line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'll do this for you Y<2x+5 |dw:1360466256830:dw|
