OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

part 1: 4x − 6y = 12.<----turn that into y=mx+b form. Do you know how to do that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i think so ...wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=4/6x+2?

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

okee dokey

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

I don't agree with your positives and negatives, can you show me your steps?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummm 4x-6=12 -6y=-4x+12 then you move the -6 and divide them to 4x and 12 y= 4/6x+2

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

but what is -12/6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh..um -2?

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

yep ok, now that that is settled

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how do you get the answer??

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

can you graph given the eq?

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

that is half of the answer

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

^^^That is slope intercept form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sowould the answer be

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@FibonacciChick666

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

oh it's multiple choice, no the answer is exactly what you solved and got, find the one with that slope and b value and you are done

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

reduce 4/6 what does it become?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2/3

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

ok so then what is your equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have the mutiple choice pictures at the top

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y= 2/3x-2

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

ok when x=0 what does y=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ihvaenoidea...

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

yep y=-2, at x=0, now how about what does x= when y=0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2??...?

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

how did you get that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

iguessed..

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

ok don't guess. Solve this for x : y=2/3x-2 \[0=\frac{2}{3}x-2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=2/3?

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

how did you get that? Can you show me your work?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait..is it 3??

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

show me your work please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ijustchose thenumbers from the mutiple choice images..

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

don't guess, know. Please try to solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i really dont know how to solve for x

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

then how did you put the initial problem into slope intercept form?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because I learned those steps

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

... I don't understand. It is essentially the same thing for one variable.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry.. i'm really dumb :/...

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

No you're not. And don't you ever say that.

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

... I am more frustrated with your teacher than you. Please know that. ok, so if you watch these khanacademy videos, you should be able to understand how to solve for x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok...which videos? i don't have a teacher..I learn online ..so yeah:/ its kind of hard

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

khanacademy is going to be your best friend

OpenStudy (anonymous):

awww thanks :D ill tagg u when i get the answer

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

np, but don't expect to get it tonight

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

it's at least two weeks of info you need to know
