Question

Help me out?

Answer 1

what is the y intercept?

Answer 2

the axis

Answer 3

i.e where does the line cross the y axis?

Answer 4

4

Answer 5

ok then it is going to be
\[y=mx+4\] so you can ignore choice 3 and 4

Answer 6

now you need the slope
do you know how to see it from the graph?

Answer 7

no

Answer 8

see where the line crosses the \(y\) axis at \((0,4)\) and it also crosses the \(x\) axis at \((3,0)\)

Answer 9

that is 3 steps to the right (from \(x=0\) to \(x=3\)) and \(4\) steps down (from \(y=4\) to \(y=0\))

3 right, down 4, slope is \(-\frac{4}{3}\)

Answer 10

always the change in \(y\) up top, change in \(x\) in the denominator
minus in this case because the line is going down as you read from left to right

Answer 11

ohhh ok i get it now. so y is always on top?

Answer 12

yes, you are comparing the change in \(y\) to the change in \(x\)
just like if you want the price per pound , it dollars over pounds
\(\$2.50\) for \(4\) pounds of beans , price per pound is \(\frac{2.5}{4}\)

Answer 13

ok, thank you so much! :)
