Question

medal & fan (:
Choose the equation of the horizontal line that passes through the point (1, -5).

y = -5

x = 1

y = 1

x = -5

Answer 1

horizontally on the rectangular coordinate system is the y
so y = -5

Answer 2

thank you (: will you help me on another ?

Answer 3

sure.

Answer 4

Choose the equation below that represents the line passing through the point (-2, -3) with a slope of -6.

y = -6x - 15

y = -6x - 20

y = -6x + 15

y = -6x + 20

Answer 5

plug in the values of x and y and m into
y = mx + b
and solve for b.
that way you find your y-intercept

Answer 6

Y=-2 -3+ -6 is that right ?

Answer 7

Close.
remember
y = mx + b
(-2,-3) <-- (x,y) , m = -6
-3 = -6(-2) + b

Answer 8

what is b ?

Answer 9

b is your y intercept where you start graphing the line

Answer 10

so, -3= -6(-2)+ b .. am i suppose to solve thatt ?

Answer 11

Yeah solve for b

Answer 12

how? lol

Answer 13

-3 = -6(-2) + b
-3 = 12 + b
-12 -12
-15 = b

Answer 14

thank you.. I understand now
