Which equation describes the function shown on the graph? y = -3x + 4 y = 3x – 4 y = 1 3 x – 4
There is no graph.
can you tell me the value of your y intercept
ie can you tell me where your line crosses the y axis?
ok let me know when you would like my help
help?
still waiting for you to answer my question, this site is called openstudy not instant answers
srry was trying to figure out on own when you said that... 4
actually -4 not 4
yes it crosses at -4 this is called your y-intercept y=mx+b so far you know the solution is y=mx-4 because your b value is -4 remember we call b your y intercept
so let's figure out the slope
that is your m value
your slope is either a positive slope, negative slope, zero slope or undefined slope read you graph from left to right and tell me if it is going up (positive slope) down (negative slope) horizontal (0 slope) vertical (undefined slope)
ok so is the line going up or down?
up
ok that means your number in front of x is positive
do you know how to calculate the slope using rise over run?
ya... learned that in 5th grade
ok pick 2 points and tell me what your slope is
run: 3 rise:1 (-6,-6) to (0,-4) its 1/3=.66 repeting
you got it y=(1/3)x-4
