I'm not understanding the concept.  Can someone please help me solve this instead of just saying this type of question is easy?

pixiedust1 · Answer

Lol that's what happened with the last 3 questions I asked :D

ganeshie8 · Answer

$y = mx + b$

slope = $m$
y-intercept = $b$

pixiedust1 · Answer

Okay, so 

y=0x+6

pixiedust1 · Answer

Or therefore, just 6?

ganeshie8 · Answer

$\large  \color{red}{\checkmark}$

ganeshie8 · Answer

therefore,
y = 6
ok

YAY! thank you for taking the time to help me, and not just saying "This is easy!  Do it yourself"  I've had a lot of people tell me that.  But you really helped me understand it.  Thank you!

ganeshie8 · Answer

pixiedust1 · Answer

Lol you bet :)
Thank you :D

pixiedust1 · Answer

Do you think you could help me with one more?

ganeshie8 · Answer

sure :)

pixiedust1 · Answer

I got no idea how to solve this :(

ganeshie8 · Answer

x-intercept  = -3
means, it is going thru point : $(-3, 0)$

ganeshie8 · Answer

and we knw another point on the line : $(-3, 7)$

ganeshie8 · Answer

can u fine the slope, $m$ ?

pixiedust1 · Answer

Oh okay!  So we have to figure out what value of those can make it to form a line through (-3,0)

pixiedust1 · Answer

So 
y2-y1/x2-x1=slope

ganeshie8 · Answer

yes ! find the slope first

pixiedust1 · Answer

I got "defined by 0"

pixiedust1 · Answer

According to my calculator

ganeshie8 · Answer

it is undefined,
so its a vertical line.

pixiedust1 · Answer

Oh okay!  I remember my teacher saying that too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :D

ganeshie8 · Answer

vertical line looks like below :-
$x = k$

pixiedust1 · Answer

So then it would be -3?

ganeshie8 · Answer

since it is going thru $(-3, 0)$
                                   ^^

equation wud be :   $x = -3$

ganeshie8 · Answer

Yes !!

pixiedust1 · Answer
