anybody good at graphing?
OpenStudy (sweetburger):
sure whats your question?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I need to find the slope and y-intercept to help my friend with her hw.... heres the graph
OpenStudy (anonymous):
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Do you know the slope of that graph?

OpenStudy (sweetburger):
lets start by looking at the y-intercept just by looking where does the line look like it crosses the y-intercept?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Actually, I'll let sweet handle this, he seems better at this than I.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay it looks like it crosses at 1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so is that the y-intercept?
OpenStudy (sweetburger):
\[M= y2-y1/x2-x1\]

and yes your y intercept is at y=1 or (0,1)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay! Now slope!
OpenStudy (sweetburger):
now the formula i just gave you will be how you will find your slope
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh okay hang on
OpenStudy (sweetburger):
pick 2 different easily identifiable points on the line and plug them into the equation

Okay Is the slope 3/1?
OpenStudy (sweetburger):
here you almost got it ill draw it out for you
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay thank you
OpenStudy (sweetburger):
i used points (0,1|dw:1402079685562:dw|) and (1,-2)
