|dw:1393249282084:dw| what'd you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

huh?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i bad at math very bad.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

This is the point on the x-axis where x=-5 |dw:1393249541348:dw|

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

if we go up or down, this will change y, but it wont change x |dw:1393249634717:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it has to be 5 or 0 right?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

slope is rise/run, how much does the graph rise , when we move along the x-axis by one unit? is it even possible to move along the x-axis by one unit and still be on this line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im sorry but i still dont understand.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

Lines like this have a slope of 1 |dw:1393250400066:dw|

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

Steeper lines that have a slope of 2 |dw:1393250465513:dw|
