I'm not quite sure how to head into this question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Someone, please?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you're given y intercept = -4, which is the starting value of the function at x = 0

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

and you know that slope = rise/run = 2/1 that means the y value increases by 2units for every 1 unit increase in x value

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=mx+b again so figure out the y, just need to plug some numbers. m = 2 y intercept = -4 x = 6 leggo!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

if you start at -4 and take 6 leaps of 2 units each to up, where would you end ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait i dont understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is there just an equation i could use for the first one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ganeshie gave a great explanation of whats going on, I give you the equation just plug in the numbers for the given variables which I also gave you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 = 0x - 4 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry im just having a tough time understanding this

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

y = mx + b plugin m=2, x=6, b=-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4 = 6x +2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not quite, remember we figured out m is the slope? Y intercept = b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = 2(6) + -4 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There we go, continue.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = 12 - 4 y = 8 !!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nice :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How would i do the fraction one? I got the formula down: y = -2/3(4) + 3
