OpenStudy (noseboy908):

are you familiar with how to read the axies?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

noseboy quit beating me to all of these lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = 0.5 y = 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummm no not exactly i do know how to do points on graphs but not this i did take notes but its not helping

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or b

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

don't just give answers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ikr

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

ok. look at the graph, and see how the dash marks are labled on both axies as "2, 4, 6"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

see i dont really under stand this only a little but other than that its burned off

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

AS I WAS SAYING, you see how the dash marks have even numbers on them? they all arn't labeled to save space, but because every two marks it goes up two digets. So, each dash marks one more number down the line. and, by extension, half of every mark is .5 numbers.

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

ok, so which answer is is then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ims say its x-int: 0.5; y-int: 1

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:D *high 5's*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have another one as well

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

ask away.

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

and please ignore plohrr.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

noseboy?

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

still here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok heres the next problm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://static.k12.com/calms_media/media/213000_213500/213121/1/26e67be17cdf1f48a07be2ef4fbec972478e4772/VHS_ALG_S1_07_L203_L303_LQ1-graphic.gif Which set of points lies on the given graph? (–3, 9), (–1, 5), (3, –3) (–3, 9), (–1, 5), (3, 3) (3, 9), (–1, 5), (3, –3) (3, 9), (1, –5), (3, 3)

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

look at the first two possible points that could be on the graph. Now, which one, "(3,9) or (-3,9)" is on the graph? remember, an ordered pair is "(x,y)".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i chose B. (–3, 9), (–1, 5), (3, 3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and thank you so much thomaster B)

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

check the last point again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3,3?

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

yeah, it tries to trick you with it, but the point "(3,3)" isn't actually on the graph. check.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea its not on these its impossibul

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*there

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

no, it's entirely possible. check out (by process of elimination) what's left to pick.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that there?

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

huh?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(–3, 9), (–1, 5), (3, 3)

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

no, that's what you just proved is incorrect. only one possible answer remains to be picked.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh so its D right? or C

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

which one? you already disproved one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ima go with C

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

let's check. does it have the point (3,9)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

on the y axis yes

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

ok, what about the x axis? is the point 3 over from 0 on it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

no, check again. While it is 3 from the zero, it's three from the zero to the RIGHT. which is considered (positive) 3. if the point is left of the zero on the x axis, then it's negative.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there fore it is (–3, 9), (–1, 5), (3, –3)

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

correct. Do you completely understand how to find points given the ordered pairs?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes sir and one more and ill be finshed

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

I'd help you do 20 more if you understood it afterword. Ask away.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i under stood it

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

ok, I have two basic rules for you to learn to understand this: 1) when x=anything, it will be vertical. whenever y=anything, it will be horizontal. from this, what two lines could it possibly be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

line c

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

correct, well done.

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

any more?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:3

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

*meow*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no thank you for your help so much what time will you be back on tomarrow?

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

it greatly varies. Since I may not even be on tomorrow, email me at the address I send you if you have more for me to help with.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k my email address is Armaniman_99@yahoo.com or gmail.com

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i normaly use my yahoo address

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

ok, then I shall expect more problems to come!

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

if that's all for now, please close the question, and have a nice day. For there are many people that need help, and only one noseboy. have a good evening stranger.
