Select the correct graph of -4x + 3y = 6.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

first convert the equation as y = mx + b, to find out what is the slope and y-int

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3y = -4x + 6 ?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

then divide by 3 you have y = -4/3x +2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's the first one

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

no wait is wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

the equation should be 3y = 4x + 6 , not negative 4x

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

therefore, it is y = 4/3x + 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhh I see

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

now you have a positive slope, so is definitely not the 2nd

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it would be the first one?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

it is not the 3rd because the y-int = (0,2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay great thanks a million. Do you mind if i ask another question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Compare and Contrast. Below are two sets of points. Find the slopes between the two points and compare them. Choose the statement that is true about the values of the slopes. Set #1 (0, 4) and (-2, 8) Set #2 (3, 7) and (-1, -5) The slope of Set #1 is smaller than the slope of Set #2. The slope of Set #1 is larger than the slope of Set #2. The slope of Set #1 is the same as the slope of Set #2. None of the statements above describes slopes of sets shown.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay I understand it now :)

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

do you know the formula for the slope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For the first question or the second?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

for the second

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

y2-y1 ----- x2-x1

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

so you have (0,4) and (-2,8), use the formula to find slope as follows: 8 - 4 4 ---- = ---- = -2 -2 -0 -2 now try doing the other points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay hold on on second :)
