Question

Has an x-intercept of 6 and a 7-intercept of 3

Write an equation in slope-intercept, point-slope,
or standard form for the line with the given information. Explain why you chose the form that you used.

Answer 1

y = 2x -4

Answer 2

equation starts out in y = mx + b form

Answer 3

m is the slope, so 2 would be placed before x

Answer 4

b is the y intercept, so -4 would replace b

Answer 5

do you get it?

Answer 6

Yes, thank you so much. I never really understood it c: This helps.

Answer 7

no problem!

Answer 8

Mind helping me with another?

Answer 9

sure

Answer 10

Has an x-intercept of 6 and a 7-intercept of 3

Answer 11

what do you need to do with it? graph it? or find the slope?

Answer 12

It's the same as "Write an equation in slope-intercept, point-slope,
or standard form for the line with the given information. Explain why you chose the form that you used."

Answer 13

y = mx + b

Answer 14

the y intercept of 3 is already given to you, so you can replace b with 3

Answer 15

so you have y = mx + 3, now we just need to figure out the slope

Answer 16

So it would be y = 6x + 3?

Answer 17

nah, 6 is the x-intercept, not the slope

Answer 18

do you know how to graph yet?

Answer 19

Yes, but I'm still quite confused. I'm quite behind so I'm trying to figure out everything at once.

Answer 20

okay i'll try to draw it

Answer 21

you know that x- intercept is 6 and the y intercept is 3
