HELPPPPPPP. Input the equation of the given line in slope-intercept form. https://media.glynlyon.com/g_alg02_ccss_2013/3/ui1.gif

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. so where does the line intercept on Y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk. 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im not that good on these equations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's ok. I'll make you good! actually it goes down to one. do you see why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Where the black line and the red line intercept!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats what up. no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i see why

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok. now, have one ever done rise over run?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure. yes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1389998892259:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We got 1 on the y-axis. remember?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes I remember.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you start from that point and go over to the other point. Where the line intercepts again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 and -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was trying to get you to understand rise/run. but you have the right answers and now so do you know what slope -intercept form is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

have you seen this? Y= mx+b ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's slope intercept form and now we have to put those numbers we just got in that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that means y = 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The slope = mx and b = the y- intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no leave y alone, kay?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Only mx and b.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the slope was the second thing we got and you get the slope using rise/run and so m is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes! So we have y=1x+b. now whats b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YAY! now plug it in and tell me the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you not know?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have no idea. 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You just plug the -1 were b is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then your done.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let -1 take steal B's place!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I would write y = 1 - 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes but you need that x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Y=1x-1 Any questions, please ask. this is my absolute favorite thing to do in math! everytime I do this I only get A's so I would be the person to ask, if you didn't understand something.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I wish i was smart like you i barely pass. i have about 2 more questions to ask.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Everyone's good at something. and i'm not that smart I suck at geometry! I passed but i still sucked at it! and YAY more!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so this one has a negative slope! you can tell by the way its facing.|dw:1390000924235:dw| see this time its going to the left.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. -2, -3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hold on I'm trying to read the slope. but -3 is right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you don't get the slope from reading the x intercept. you do it by doing rise/ run.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh. this hard

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no not hard. look at this... http://plaza.ufl.edu/youngdj/slopes/images/riserun_example.gif

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You see how there going up 2 and over 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats what you have to do to get the slope count a few boxes up until your line intercepts with x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then go over until you meet the line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im stuck and I only have 4 mins to finish

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay I'll give it to you this time Y=-1.5x-3. hurry next one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea it was tricky Y=-3/12x+1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my answer was totally different

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think hold on.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what did you get
