Question

When there is a negativepostive in a (y=mx+-b or y=m-+b) does the negative or positive sign take over?

Answer 1

The negative sign takes over?
The question is confusing.

Answer 2

equation is y =mx+b

Answer 3

for ex if you have (-9,-3) and a slope of a -6. you have to put it into a y=m(x-x1)+y1

Answer 4

so it would be y=-6(x+9)+3 right?

Answer 5

Wait what, why'd you put x+9?

Answer 6

and +3?

Answer 7

because you plug them in from the points

Answer 8

How'd you know x and b?

Answer 9

y=-6(x+9)+3
y=-6x-54+3
y=-6x-51

Answer 10

No i was just wondering if those points were given or not.

Answer 11

they are give

Answer 12

ah

Answer 13

i just wanted to know if the 3 in y=-6(x+9)+3 would be positive or negative. you know what i mean?
