Question

slope help please!!

Answer 1

i know that the right column is not the y intercept. how do i find it?

Answer 2

yes you figured it out right j(x) is actually the y coordinate
so from now i`ll call j(x) as y

so general equation is
y = mx + c
where c is the y intercept
now put the values given in the table and find the value of c

Answer 3

to find the slope?

Answer 4

sorry , i didn`t read it properly
you need to find out slope which is m, so find m

Answer 5

are you sure that j(x) is y? i feel like there's more to that.

Answer 6

this is function related

Answer 7

yes you generally put it in function notation this way
f(x) = x + 5
but actually when you plot the value which is f(x) is the y coordinate
so it`s totally up to you you can write j(x) or y

Answer 8

oh, okay. So i can just use y2-y1/x2-x1 right?

Answer 9

yes that is why i related this to y coordinate

Answer 10

hm. okay. so would it be 3?

Answer 11

yes!!

Answer 12

okay thank you so much. :)

Answer 13

welcome!!
