@iGreen can you please help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the equation of the graphed line? Hint: Determine the slope of the line.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is the graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think it y=5x+6

OpenStudy (igreen):

Just find the slope..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's suppose to be a fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5/6

OpenStudy (igreen):

Take any two points on the line. Let's take (-5, -6) and (5, 6). Plug them into the slope formula: \(m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\) \(m = \dfrac{6+6}{5+5}\) \(m = \dfrac{12}{10}\) You can simplify this fracton, so what is it?

OpenStudy (igreen):

@shortycme Don't give out answers..and your answer is wrong.

OpenStudy (igreen):

@Soniatonia Can you simplify 12/10? Divide the numerator and denominator by 2, what do you get? 12 / 2 = ? 10 / 2 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 6/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not wrong i just have it backwards @iGreen

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6/5

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, that's right @Soniatonia

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answers y= 6/5 x?

OpenStudy (igreen):

@shortycme Getting it backwards IS wrong. 5/6 is NOT the same thing as 6/5.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks alot @iGreen

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well im sorry i flipped it

OpenStudy (igreen):

No problem. @Soniatonia
