Question

the line with a slope of 1/4 and y-intercept of -2

Answer 1

What about it?

Answer 2

hehe, I gather he means to find the equation of it =)

Answer 3

y-intercept, means where the graph TOUCHES the y-axis, or INTERCEPTS it, like

notice that when that happens, what's the value of "x"? well, x =0, so if the y-intercept is at -2 and x =0, the point is ( 0, -2)

to find the equation of a line with such point and slope you'd use the point-slope form and plug in the values, thus \(\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1\\
&(0\quad ,&-2)
\end{array}
\\\quad \\

slope = m= \cfrac{1}{4}
\\ \quad \\

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\quad \textit{plug in your values and solve for "y"}\)

Answer 4

@jdoe0001 one of the many skills a student needs to learn is HOW to ask a question properly, right? We should not have to guess at his "intention," for productive learning to take place.
