help.! graphing. :(

OpenStudy (umarsback):

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

there's the graph...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay since it only hits one value and the y is continuous you're equation si going to start vvith x +

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

what exactly do you need help with? LOL

OpenStudy (zale101):

|dw:1384410013794:dw| if it's vertical line the equation is x=the number the line passes through if the line is horizontal the line is y=the number it passes through

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you're going to find the x that it is continuously on vvhat x value does each point on that graph match.

OpenStudy (zale101):

your line therefore passes along the x-axis

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

ermmmmm

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

your slope is undefined that is the key to your problem

OpenStudy (zale101):

because the line is not steep it's straight

OpenStudy (anonymous):

note since this is all said and done and there is no slope it is simply x=3

OpenStudy (umarsback):

thats the equation?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

NO... WHAT IS YOUR QUESTION about the graph? LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

vvhat is the equation of the graph

OpenStudy (umarsback):

^

OpenStudy (zale101):

there's no slope because the line is steep, and if there's no b or y-intercept because the line doesn't touch the y-axis

OpenStudy (umarsback):

so the equation is x = 3?

OpenStudy (zale101):

so simply put it x=3 no slope and no y-intercept

OpenStudy (umarsback):

okay thanks .!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

of course friend.

OpenStudy (zale101):

there's no slope because the line is not steep, and there's no b or y-intercept because the line doesn't touch the y-axis

OpenStudy (zale101):

i miss typed lol

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

don't believe both of them because they are giving you the answer they key is that your slope is undefined rise/run or change in y over change in x your run would be zero for it to be undefined your line can touch the y-axis at every point possible for x=0

OpenStudy (umarsback):

so they're wrong?
