Select the correct graph of –x – 2y = 6.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

check y intercept 2y = -x - 6 y intercept = -3 equation of line is y = slope * x + y intercept. therfore answer C.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would it be the last graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes last graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

will you help me with a different problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the slope of the line 5x - 2y = -10?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5/2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[slope(formula)= \frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can't i convert it to slope-intercept form to find the slope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You still there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dang that is confusing lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5/2 is the slope for 5x - 2y = -10... i just submitted it and got it correct :p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plotted point (a)=(0,5) ie (X1 y1) plotted point (b)=(-2 ,0) ie (X2 y2) now by formula slope(formula)=y2−y1/x2−x1 =0-5/-2-0 =-5/-2 =5/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pl see the attached graph 2.bmp

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay?...
