@sleepyjess plz come help
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
as i said last night, we need to find the slope first
do you know how to do that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
not reallly
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
you have 6, 2 as point 1 and 4, 8 as point 2
\(\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\) 6, 2 = \(x_1,~y_1\) 4, 8 = \(x_2,~y_2\)

then wat happens after that to find the answer
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
substitute the points i gave you into the formula
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yea
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@sleepyjess i didnt get the answer i dont get hoiw to substitute it
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
show me what you did to substitute the numbers
i gave you the points and what the point represented

but how do i susbitute
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
use 6 as \(x_1\) 2 as \(y_1\) 4 as \(x_2\) and 8 as \(y_2\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@sleepyjess it has to be like this y = x +
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
i know but to get that we need to get the slope
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so wat would be the sope plz

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
just put in the numbers to the formula i gave you
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sooo 6,2 is 1x i think
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@sleepyjess
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@sleepyjess is this it
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
\(\dfrac{8-2}{4-6}\)

so 6x -2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@sleepyjess so 6x -2
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
no your slope is \(-\dfrac{6}{2}\) which can be simplified to -3
now we have -3x+?
can you find the y intercept with that information?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
um 16
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@sleepyjess is is 16 or -16

going down 2 for x and up 6 for y
point 3 is 2, 14
point 4 is 0, 20
which point is the intercept?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it says im typin bt i9m not
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
no which point has the x value as 0? 3 or 4?
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
its fine it does it for me too
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ummm 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):
o 4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it 4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i said 4 not 8
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
yes point 4 has an x value of 0 what is the y value for point 4?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@sleepyjess u still here

OpenStudy (anonymous):
um 20
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
yes so your equation is y=-3x+20
OpenStudy (anonymous):
20
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@sleethx i understand that now i got diff. kind of quesion kjind of diff.

What is the slope-intercept form of the function described by this table?
x 1 2 3 4
y 1 −2 −5 −8
y = x +
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@sleepyjess srry abought that lag plz come help me
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
sorry my computer decided to randomly restart
OpenStudy (testing123guest):
hay man can u help me out with that first question like what was the answer it was not that clear
