I have a few questions and they all have to do with linear equations...If someone could help that would be great..I cant open the questions though till I know if someone can because once I open it I have to answer it

Question

kenljw · Answer

Liner equations are the form
y = m x + b
b is the y-intercept and is determined by setting x = 0
m is the slope, +, y increasing to the right, -, y decreasing to the right

Right but im not good at them at all...like i have been doing these for years and I still dont get it...

Really what's to get, this is just a relationship problem.  How y is related to x, the linear relationship is the simplest one.  As you proceed you'll be introduced to more complex ones such as a parabola(squared term).  All you have to do is accept the relationship and it's characteristic and go on.

mkay...idk i just have such a hard time with it...I know you think its easy with the formula and just plug everything in but I dont...

Actually I seldom graph, others do, working with the equation is known as analytic analysis. Every equation has certain character, the relationship.  With what I initially gave is the analysis of a linear equation and with it you can solve any linear equation.
