**will give medal** John began his job making $20 the first day. After that he was paid $6.00 per hour. Y = 6x + 20. What is the slope in this problem?

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Same as before m is the slope in y = mx + b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the 20 is the slope.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol no

OpenStudy (emmyma):

Most of your problems seem to be slope-intercept problems. The main formula would be y=mx+b, just like @tHe_FiZiCx99 said! So, m=the slope. Can you try to figure out what the slope is here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 ?

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my mistake it is actually 6/1 rise /run sorry the 20 is the y-intercept.

OpenStudy (emmyma):

Yes! Great job, make sure to give me a medal if I helped! Good luck :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
