WILL GIVE MEDAL!!! PLEASE HELP!

You start out with $20 and then spend money in a store where every item is $3. Y = -3x + 20. Type how to graph the equation using the y-intercept and slope. Be sure to tell where you place the first point and how to find the location of the second point

imstuck · Answer

If the function is y = -3x + 20, what is the slope of the line?

imstuck · Answer

I'll help you.

anonymous · Answer

im in k12 too it sucks

anonymous · Answer

they always havin tecnical issues

anonymous · Answer

Thank you @IMStuck

imstuck · Answer

Do you know what the slope is from looking at the equation?

anonymous · Answer

20?

imstuck · Answer

no that is the y intercept.  The equation is in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope.  What number is in the m position in your equation?

anonymous · Answer

im stuck

anonymous · Answer

-3

@IMStuck

imstuck · Answer

Yes so that is the slope.  Now what did we say the y intercept was?

anonymous · Answer

go to my question after plz

@KendrickLamar2014 Hey Kendrick! :D

imstuck · Answer

yes.  So now you need to describe in words how to graph it using the slope and y intercept?

anonymous · Answer

@rainbow_bae can u stop posting ur question in my question please? :)

anonymous · Answer

I would graph it by using my graph calculator @IMStuck

imstuck · Answer

The instructions say this:  Type how to graph the equation using the y-intercept and slope. To me that means you need to explain how to graph using words.

anonymous · Answer

I don't get it tho.

imstuck · Answer

First things first.  Are you supposed to describe in words how to graph it using the slope and y intercept?  Answer that first, then we will move on.  I just need to know exactly what the problem is asking you to do, ok?

anonymous · Answer

yes

imstuck · Answer

ok, then i will help you by drawing and explaining, ok?

anonymous · Answer

@KendrickLamar2014 yeahh ik skool is life now

imstuck · Answer

When you have a line in the form of y = mx + b, you always start by graphing the "b" first.  In your case the y intercept is 20.  Graph that first.  I'll show you how to do it, then explain why it is so, ok?
