y=-4x+12 @Squirrels

OpenStudy (squirrels):

So you want to solve for x and y i assume?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says find the slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

theres another one like 2x-3y=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like i completely forgot all this and its embarrassing

OpenStudy (desiraem):

the slope would be, m=-4

OpenStudy (squirrels):

DESIRAE omg, he wants an explanation not an answer, now git

OpenStudy (desiraem):

omg -.- I'm sorry! lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i remember that

OpenStudy (squirrels):

Ok good, so now you graph "y=-4x+12" to find the coordinates.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

graph it? o.o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean i cant really do it by hand, so i just use a computer?

OpenStudy (squirrels):

Well the formula for that equation is y=mx+b (y=-4x+12) Where mx = the slope lol...

OpenStudy (squirrels):

im sorry i accidently forgot about the whole y=mx+b formula...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright so 12 crosses the y axis and -4 is the slope of the line

OpenStudy (squirrels):

yup thats correct, my apologies. y=mx+b <- remember that. m= the slope b= y axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got one thats just y=6 , the slope is 6 right?

OpenStudy (squirrels):

uhh. no where did you get six?

OpenStudy (squirrels):

youre talking about this equation right? y=-4x+12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk like i said i dont remember any of this and math isnt really my biggest worry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no no im talking about y=6 thats my next equation, sorry i apologize

OpenStudy (squirrels):

Ohh ok, can you type your next question pls?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=6

OpenStudy (squirrels):

your question, not your answer lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im so serious thats my QUESTION

OpenStudy (squirrels):

IMPOSSIBLE lol, what exactly do you want me to find with y=6? graph it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says find the slope. use the slope intercept form of a line

OpenStudy (squirrels):

Ohh well in that case it is 0, since there is no "mx" it only gives us "y"

OpenStudy (squirrels):

oh by the way, if you want to a new question can you close this question and make a new one? :3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay! i got one more ill make a new question
