Hold on while I attach
@jigglypuff314
I got another question lol :D You explain math better than anyone I know, so I always go to you for help :)
y = -x + 6 From the equation can you tell what the slope is and what the y-intercept is?
Hmm.... maybe the third on since it's 6 on the y axis...?
Yes.
YAY!! Thank you! :D
Can you help me with a few more?
I can try a couple more.
Thanks! I'm gonna put each question on a seperate page. Hold on
I'll message you when I got it all set :D I don't want to keep you waiting

Hello!
graph is attached but question is missing.
oh oops! okay the first one is Graph f(x) = 2x - 3.
Oh it is at the bottom of the graph.
Which one do you think it is? 2x-3 has slope of 2 which is positive and therefore must be increasing as x increases. It has a y-intercept of -3 which means it cuts the y axis on the negative side at 3 units.
slope 2 also means for every 1 unit along the x axis, the y increases by 2 units.
Hmmm.. probably the y intercept with -3...?
oh okay
There are two graphs with y-intercept of -3.
I have no idea how to solve this. :(
First identify the graph or graphs with y-intercept of -3 units. Then on each graph pick a point on the line. Then move 1 unit along the x axis and 2 units along the y axis and see if that point also falls on the line. If it does, that line has a slope of 2 and that is our line.
Oh okay! Let me try that, hold on
So far, I see that both 2 and 3 have a "3" on the y axis, while 1 has it on the x axis
On each graph pick a point on the line. Then move 1 unit along the x axis and 2 units along the y axis and see if that point also falls on the line. If it does, that line has a slope of 2 and that is our line.
OHH!!!! The third one works!!! :D
:D :D :D
There is no D. Only 3 choices per page.
Lol that was a smiley face :) Not a D lol :P
i think the third one is the answer
The third one does not have a y-intercept of negative 3.
Oh :( Hold on!
The second one also seems to work
And that one does have a -3 for y
There is no "also". Only one works and that is the middle one. 2x-3 has a slope of positive 2. That means as x increases y must increase too. The third one has a negative slope because as x increases y decreases. And it does not have the right intercept either. So the answer is B.
That makes sense to me! Thank you!! :) Based on that knowledge, I'm gonna try the second one by myself, and see if I'll get it right :)
Hint for the next one: Try the values x = -1, 0, +1 and find f(x) and see which line has those three x,y values.
Thanks!
Using -1, the second one seemed to work...
But, knowing me, I probably did something wrong :)
The second one is the correct choice!
Really???!!!!! YAY!! THANK YOU!!!
you are welcome.
P.S. If that is your dogs in the profile picture, they are very cute!!!
What breed is the tan one?
