What is the equation of the line? A. y= -3/2x B. y= -2/3x C. y= 2/3x D. y= 3/2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sumanta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2. Points A and B lie on the graph of the equation y = −4.3x. What are the y-coordinates for each point? Point A: (−3,___ ) Point B: (5,___ )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its b for the first one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4.3 -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sumanta are you there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok m i right on the first one

OpenStudy (aripotta):

that line is going up to the right, so that means it's going to have a positive slope. so you can rule out choices a and b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok @AriPotta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey umm can you guys help me with second one?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

y = −4.3x plug in each value of x and solve for y. i'll do the first one. y = -4.3(-3) y = 12.9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so im mulply

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so -4.3 (5) is 21.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (aripotta):

-21.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me another one

OpenStudy (aripotta):

you can post it and tell me what you think the answer is. i'll say if you're right or not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (–1, 3) and (4, –7)? A. 2 B.3/4 C. -4/3 D. -2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-1,3) (4, -7)

OpenStudy (aripotta):

do you know the slope formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont remember

OpenStudy (aripotta):

(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok.

OpenStudy (aripotta):

so plug in the values and tell me what you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 - -7 right

OpenStudy (aripotta):

these are our two points (-1,3) (4, -7) so we plug them into the formula (-7 - 3)/[4 - (-1)] -10/5 -2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok i got it now tank you.

OpenStudy (aripotta):

no problemo :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and last one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is last one i swear

OpenStudy (aripotta):

what does that say? y = 1/2x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (aripotta):

and which one do you think it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because (1,2)

OpenStudy (aripotta):

so slope is basically rise/run. our slope is 1/2. so starting from the origin, we'll go up (rise) 1, and go to the right (run) 2 to get a second point on the line so our line should go through points (0,0) and (2,1)

OpenStudy (aripotta):

so a is not the answer. which choice is a line that goes through those two points?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thankn you can i give you fan in case i neeed hselp because u give directions and help me

OpenStudy (aripotta):

sure. and just tag me in your questions and i'll try to help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (aripotta):

can you give me best response tho?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Umm. Like what?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

you see the blue button that says best response beside my comment? if you push it, it'll give me a medal :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (aripotta):

thank you
