if ur still up I would love help on this question! @jim_thompson5910

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

the y intercept is the (0,?) so let x = 0 and what is y?

OpenStudy (imstuck):

The y intercept occurs where x is 0.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=5

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

so (0,5) is the y intercept

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

when x = 1 y=?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

ok I guess we dont need two people doing the same thing...

OpenStudy (imstuck):

Use the slope formula for part B. The y2 would be your y value when x is 4, and the y1 would by your y value when x is 1. Then your x2 is 4 and your x1 is 1. It's the slope formula, really...rise over run...change in y over change in x.

OpenStudy (imstuck):

No...I'm gone. Sorry.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when x = 1 y would equal 5 right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@zzr0ck3r

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

no

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

go to x=1 and look to the right

OpenStudy (anonymous):
