Question

can some one help me with math problem

Answer 1

what's the math problem?

Answer 2

-3y=-x-6

Answer 3

i need to graph this problem

Answer 4

manually? or with a graphing calculator?

Answer 5

divide by -3 to get y by itself.

Answer 6

turn this into slope intercept form

y=mx + b
make your equation look like this

***hint see how y is all by itself of the left side of the "=" side?

Answer 7

manualy

Answer 8

once you have the equation in the form y=mx+b, if you have graph paper, count up b units

Answer 9

b is your y-intercept

Answer 10

i need to graph this equation by plotting three points on a graph

Answer 11

thank you guys for helping me

Answer 12

well, you will know the y intercept which is (0,b) then the slope, you can find as many points as you need when you have the slope.

Answer 13

you know how to find additional points when you have the slope?

Answer 14

peter what do you mean

Answer 15

FIRST put it in
y=mx+b form.

Answer 16

hope o is not going to be b

Answer 17

hope ok

Answer 18

no, b is the y intercept which means it does not move across the x axis so the x coordinate of the y intercept is 0.

Answer 19

hope can you please show me a graph on microsoft

Answer 20

have you put your equation in that form? show us what you have...then ill be glad to graph it to show you

Answer 21

what does the m stand for in y=mx+b

Answer 22

m is your slope

Answer 23

m stands for the slope
b stands for the y-intercept

Answer 24

what does b equal

Answer 25

y-intercept

Answer 26

so turn your

-3y=-x-6

into

y = mx + b

show us what you have

Answer 27

hope thank you

Answer 28

youre welcome :)

Answer 29

no no no, you have to divide by -3 because there is not suppose to be a number in front of the y.

Answer 30

the whole equation.

Answer 31

correct as @Hope_nicole has said ...that's why it theres no number before y in y=mx+b

divide EVERYthing by -3

Answer 32

-3y=-x-6
--- -- --
-3 -3 -3

what does this come out to?

Answer 33

divide by "-"3

Answer 34

You have to divide everything by -3 because Y has to be by itself.

Answer 35

you are close, remember that in front of the -x, there is really a -1x so you must divide that also. also remember dividing be a negative.

Answer 36

here step by step

-3 divided by -3 is?

Answer 37

you would leave it as a fraction, so it would be 1/3...remember when multiplying be a negative, if it is two negative they cancel each other out.

Answer 38

right...now

-1/-3 is?

(and yes you WOULD be correct in saying it = .333333...but just leaave this as 1/3..youll see why later)


finally -6/-3 is?

Answer 39

slope = rise / run
so your 1 would be rise (up or down)
3 would be run (left or right)

Answer 40

this is all so confusing

Answer 41

@Hope_nicole has given you the final equation you will have...THIS is the slope intercept form

so

y = 1/3x + 2
compare that to
y = mx + b

m is the slope
b is the y intercept

Answer 42

so YOUR slope is?
your y-intercept is?
