Graph –6x – 7y = 42

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

first i would help to convert this to slope-intercept form. Can you do that @androidonyourface ?

OpenStudy (abb0t):

reqrite it into the form of a line: \(y=mx+b\)

OpenStudy (abb0t):

m is your slope b = y-coordinate value

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have trouble but I can show some

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What would the line be going like

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Use your tools from algebra to add and then divide some terms to get it in the form I showed above. \(y = mx+b\) or \(y=b+mx\)

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

-6x-7y=42 +6x +6x ----------- -7y=42+6x /-7 /-7 /-7 --------- y=-6-\(\frac{6}{7}\)

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

i didn't give an answer tho... @abb0t, besides then he can use this to figure out the line..

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

@androidonyourface are you following me so far?

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

if you want me to explain the process again I would be happy to

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

hello? lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry went afk

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

s'okay but are u following me so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

okay so the slope is is negative and so is the slope intercept... so both the graphs you posted would not work in correspondence to the equation, just make sure that you have a negative slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I screwed up
