Answer 1

@superdavesuper

Answer 2

graph :)

Answer 3

slope is a measure of how much y changes as x changes....look at the graph n tell me if x increases by 1, what is the change in y?

Answer 4

y changes by 3?

Answer 5

no, when x=0, y=?
then when x=1, y=?

Answer 6

idk.

Answer 7

read the graph plz? x=0 what is y equal to?

Answer 8

what is y? the up/down line?

Answer 9

x and y are different points on the straight line that goes across - left to right and down to up...

Answer 10

okay on this graph the points are P and Q

Answer 11

OK what is the difference in the Horizontal value of P and Q?

Answer 12

Q goes from -2(left to right line) up to +4(up and down line)

Answer 13

and P is on the +4 line

Answer 14

yup yup good! so the difference between Q at -2 and P at +4 is equal to what?

Answer 15

@superdavesuper +2? d?

Answer 16

difference...not the sum....so -2-(+4)=?

Answer 17

+1/2?

Answer 18

is it + or - ?
