OpenStudy (amistre64):

any thoughts?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not a clue

OpenStudy (amistre64):

it would help if you had a clue with something this basic.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

knowing what form the equation is expected to be given in tells us how to determine its parts.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=0.5x+2 ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@TheSmartOne

OpenStudy (amistre64):

when x=0, what does y equal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

I know @amistre64 is helping you. You are in good hands xD

OpenStudy (amistre64):

assuming you see that the format is slope intercept: then y = mx + b is the parts we need to fill in m=slope b=y intercept

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the graph cross the y axis at what y value? slope is prolly best defined here as rise/run since we can visually see it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this doesn't make sense im not good at this kind of math

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@amistre64 ??

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

when x=0 what is y? http://prntscr.com/58eu5x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Yes so that is the y-intercept.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

So so far we have y= mx +b we got b=1 so y=mx+1

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

To get m we can either take two points and find the slope or plug in a point and solve for m..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take two points
