Question

find the slope between (1,6) and (-8, 12)

Answer 1

slope is\[\frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1 }\]

Answer 2

that is the formula

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

i already know that just confused on how to do it lol

Answer 5

\[\frac{ 12-6 }{ -8-1 }\]

Answer 6

now just subtract

Answer 7

6/-7

Answer 8

6 is right

Answer 9

oh 9

Answer 10

is that right

Answer 11

ok thanks

Answer 12

it would be -9

Answer 13

yes I forgot the negative sign you must be a whiz at math thanks

Answer 14

haha thanks and no problem :)

Answer 15

y=5x-7 m= b=

Answer 16

Im not sure on this one sorry

Answer 17

can someone help me

Answer 18

I would post that question up

Answer 19

m= and y=

Answer 20

Compare y = 5x - 7
with y = mx + b
Can you see what m and b are?

Answer 21

yes thanks

Answer 22

x+y =0

Answer 23

would it be 1

Answer 24

Are you looking for m and b for x + y = 0?

Answer 25

yes

Answer 26

Then remember how we looked at
y = 5x - 7, and we directly compared to
y = mx + b,
so we can conclude m = 5 and b = -7?

Answer 27

yes

Answer 28

ok

Answer 29

Now you have x + y = 0.
If you solve for y, and express it as y = ...
You'l be able to again get m and b.
First solve x + y = 0 for y. What do you get?

Answer 30

1

Answer 31

No. I don't want m yet. Do one step at a time. If you have equation x + y = 0, solve it for y. You need to subtract x from both sides.

Answer 32

so O is the answer Zero or undefined

Answer 33

I give up. I've asked you to solve the equation x + y = 0 for y, a few times. I told you you need to subtract x from both sides. If you don't want to follow what I ask, I can't help you.

Answer 34

Im asking you to explain what to do because Im not sure how to do the problem or write it x-x + y = 0-x

Answer 35

Ok, I'll explain it now that I see you are trying to solve for y.
