Question

y=-5
What is the slope and y intercept?
slope:0?
y intercept (0,-5)
Is that right? I'm not sure if you can have a slope of 0

Answer 1

slope:0?
y intercept (0,-5) \(\Large \checkmark\)

Answer 2

You can have a slope of zero :P

Answer 3

\(\bf slope = {\color{green}{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run}\)

notice is a horizontal line, no matter what \(y_1\ and \ y_2\) you pick, they'll both be -5
-5 -(-5) = 0
so the fraction numerator will always be 0, thus the slope as well

Answer 4

Thank you :)

Answer 5

If I have (2,11) and (3,7)
My slope would be -4 right?

Answer 6

yeap

Answer 7

Yay

Answer 8

I have another question lol

Answer 9

Use the slope intercept form to graph the equation y=-8x

Answer 10

I know the slope is -8. Would the y intercept be (0,0)

Answer 11

Yes...when there is no stated y-intercept, it begins at the origin

Answer 12

would that be my graph?

Answer 13

That looks correct to me!

Answer 14

So if it's a negative slope I go down and to the right?

Answer 15

If you divide a negative and negative is it positive?
I appreciate all the help

Answer 16

For instance I have 5x-6y=1
Then it'd be y=-5/6x+1?

Answer 17

5x - 6y = 1
-5x -5x

-6y = -5x + 1
-------------
-6 -6 -6

y = (5/6)x - (1/6)

Answer 18

Sometimes I forget to do the last number divided by the 6 lol thank you

Answer 19

Yeah you have to divide everything by the -6 :)
