Graph the equation of the line that intersects the coordinate (-3,-1) and has a slope of. 1/4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@~Chance~ there it is(:

@Zale101 Hey she put it up!

I taught it was y=mx+b
OpenStudy (zale101):
oh wait, do this formula
y=mx+b and plug in the nimbers
m is the slope
b is the y intercept
OpenStudy (zale101):
ya ur correct
OpenStudy (zale101):
do u know how to plug in the numbers for that formula?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes I think I do, is it y=-3/4x-1 ?

OpenStudy (zale101):
from where is -3/4?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Well I plugged it in like y=1/4(-3)-1 and I multiplied 1/4 and -3 and got -3/4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
That's what I did
OpenStudy (zale101):
hold on, let me check
OpenStudy (zale101):
you have to get two lines in order to have an intersection point

OpenStudy (zale101):
i think ur question should've been
-1=1/4(-3)+b
cuz the y coordinate is at -1
OpenStudy (zale101):
m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.
OpenStudy (zale101):
x is the x coordinate given and y is the y coordinate given
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Then it'll be -1=-3/4+b
OpenStudy (zale101):
but u need to solve for b then

OpenStudy (anonymous):
-1/4 =b
OpenStudy (zale101):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No. And after that how do I know where to graph?
OpenStudy (zale101):
Then the line equation must be "y = 1/4x – 1/4".
OpenStudy (zale101):
in slope intercept form

Can you try to graph it here so I can see I'm on my iPad right nowadays can't use the tools
OpenStudy (zale101):
sure
OpenStudy (zale101):
do u know how to find the solutions and get the ordered pairs ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes

OpenStudy (zale101):
can i ask u a question? Do u know how to use this formula?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes I do I just got confused that's all
OpenStudy (zale101):
the answer became confusing when we started doing the y=mx+b formula
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yeah it did
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I've never heard of that formula before

OpenStudy (zale101):
oh wait, that's not true
if there's two coordinates we first do the the slope (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) and then put it in y=mx+b, sorry wrong formula
OpenStudy (zale101):
(y-y1)=m(x-x1)
(y--1)=1(x--3)
y=1x--3+-1
y=1x+2
1x-y+2=0
here's what i got for the point-slope formula
OpenStudy (zale101):
and the way we graph it was y=x+2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
They havnt taught me this so this is new to me
OpenStudy (zale101):
do u have a math text-book with u?

OpenStudy (zale101):
maybe the formula is near the chapter ur currently on
OpenStudy (zale101):
if i were to use y=mx+b, the graph is y=1x-1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I think I got. My older sister helped me with. Thank you so much for your help though. I appreciate it(:
OpenStudy (zale101):
no problem, is the answer y=1x-1?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yup
