Looking for a math tutor (high school/college graduate) to help me with school three days a week. I'm behind in my math class and I have a short period of time to catch up or else, I fail. I basically need someone who can teach very quick and simple. I'm in 8th grade the math course I take is MS Algebra. Please, only reply if serious. My family is struggling financially so my parents can't afford to get me a tutor. I'm in need of serious help.

And if you know any other sites where I can get math help, please refer them to me below.
Thanks in advance!

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

do you have any questions right now?

anonymous · Answer

@jim_thompson5910 Actually, yes. Are you good with graphing equations? I'm horrible with this stuff. I was wondering if you could explain the whole thing to me maybe give me some examples, if you'd like.

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

linear equations?

anonymous · Answer

@jim_thompson5910 Yes.

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

ok so graphing something like y = 2x + 3

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

what form is that equation in?

anonymous · Answer

@jim_thompson5910 I don't know :/

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

have you seen y = mx+b before?

anonymous · Answer

Yes.

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

what does m stand for?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

any ideas?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

I guess it's not intuitive, but m stands for the slope

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

b stands for the y-intercept

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

so saying y = 2x + 3 means that the slope is 2 and the y-intercept is 3

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

now draw an xy axis or coordinate system

|dw:1396133086036:dw|

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

the y-intercept is 3, so the graph crosses the y axis (the vertical axis) at 3

|dw:1396133134259:dw|

jim_thompson5910 · Answer
