find the slope, use y =mx + b
plug in the coordinates solve for b.
put your value of along with m your slope to find it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Sorry I don't quite understand the y = mx + b formula.
OpenStudy (shamil98):
find the slope first.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So like the same formula I used for my previous question?
OpenStudy (shamil98):
yes

3/2
OpenStudy (shamil98):
no..
you got the x value on top and y on the bottom
its the other way around
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oh yeah my bad. 2/3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Wait,
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yeah 2/3

yes
OpenStudy (shamil98):
input your values of (x,y) and m
into
y=mx + b
what do u get,
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2 = m3 + b ...?
Sorry I'm not so good at this.
OpenStudy (shamil98):
nvm, i got the slope wrong, its 3/2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So I had it right before?

(x,y) --> (2,4)
m = 3/2
y = mx + b
4 = (3/2)2 + b
yes you did
OpenStudy (shamil98):
solve for b.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
b = 1?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Because I got 4 = 3 + b
OpenStudy (shamil98):
yes

OpenStudy (shamil98):
y = mx +b
y = 3/2 x + 1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 'm' is the slope right? For the formula y=mx + b
OpenStudy (shamil98):
yeah
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay now I understand the formula... But there's another question, can you help me with it? I'll put it on another thread.
OpenStudy (shamil98):
ok
