need help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

looks like there could be a couple of right answers, yes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@brucek69

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah @satellite73

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one answer you can see from your eyeballs do you see where the line crosses the y axis?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's B and C hun =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Chad123

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@charina2312

geerky42 (geerky42):

shhh my little child

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually it is not B and C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

be suspicious of answers without any explanation, they are often if not usually wrong in this case they are just plain wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?? ^ @satellite73

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B and C are not correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you see where the line crosses the y axis?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah @satellite73

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what number is that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you see what i am talking about? it crosses the y axis at \(-3\) so the equation will look like \[y=mx-3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

M= slope right? @satellite73

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes m is the slope to find \(m\) you see that as you move to the one unit, the line goes down two units that means \(m=-2\) and so one answer is \[y=-2x-3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is E

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@brucek69

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Chad123

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@satellite73

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok let me show you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First you need to find m which is the gradient or slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

m= slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

M = rise/run = change of y / change of x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the rise in this case? It is 6 because 9-3= 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the run? It is 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

M= rise/run = 6/3 = 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its gon be D & E?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nah i think im wrong @Chad123

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But we aren't finished yet Y-Y1 = m (X-X1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We have 2 points on the graph chose only one of them to plug them in the equation. We already know the value of m =2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm going to chose (1,9) x1= 1 Y1=9 M = 2 Y-9=2(X-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it's F

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I hope you got it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but its multiple choice tho

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know. What don't you understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nah i got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try answer a different question in your book by using this method

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A thank you won't harm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lmao, Thank you for the help i really apreciate it!
