Answer 3

No that's fine keep going

Answer 4

Can you put all of that in a simpler way please

Answer 5

So when I do that do I get b=1

Answer 6

@Cosmichaotic

Answer 7

Tell me one more time, the y-intercept is (4,5), b=(4,5)
And your equation is y=3/2x+b

Correct?

Answer 8

Can you show me the question specifically so I can see what it is asking, if you want.

Answer 9

I put that wrong, I meant to say does b=-1

Answer 10

Ok well b=-1 is saying that it has a y-intercept at (0,-1) correct?
Follow along with me here.

Answer 11

Ok

Answer 12

hey i think the question is wrong, it shud be saying that is the point (4,5)

Answer 13

we can find what the 3 intercept must be if the line goes through the point (4,5)

Answer 14

what the B*, or y interecept must be

Answer 15

y=3/2x+b
(4,5) plug this point in and see what b has to be
5=3/2(4)+b
b=5-6=-1
so
y=3/2x-1

Answer 16

I already know the answer to that already I need help with another ques
