Question

How do I give the slope for this equation?

Answer 1

\[y = \frac{- 3 }{2 }x +4\]
The y intercept is 4, so how do I find the slope?

Answer 2

the slope of y=mx+c is just the 'm'
so, what about your equation ?

Answer 3

so, \[\frac{ -3 }{ 2 }\] is m?

Answer 4

coorect! thats your slope :)

Answer 5

would it look like this on the graph?

Answer 6

thats just a point, you need to graph the line, right ?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

do you know how to ? have u graphed the line before ?

Answer 9

you have y-intercept as 4 , so (0,4)
can u find x-intercept ??
hint: put y=0 in the equation

Answer 10

No, I'm afraid not

Answer 11

to find x-intercept
put y=0 in the equation
what u get ?

Answer 12

\[\frac{ -3 }{ 2 }x+4\]
Then, -3 divided by 2, so I get -1.5 + 4.
So...
2.5?

Answer 13

0 = -3/2 x +4
so,
3/2 x = 4

x= 4*2/3 = 8/3
right ?

Answer 14

Wait, how did -3 turn into a positive?

Answer 15

by adding -3/2x on both sides

so, in right side ,0 +4, left side +3/2x

Answer 16

oh, I get it now.
