Question

Complete the equation of the graphed linear function. Write the slope in decimal form.



y = x +

Answer 1

@DanJS can u help me please?

Answer 2

slope is the change in y divided by the corresponding change in x
use any 2 points on the line (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
slope, m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Answer 3

to make it easy so might want to use the end points
so what will be your points?
what will be the slope?

Answer 4

I don't know it :(:(:(:(:(:(:

Answer 5

look at the graph find 2 points (x1, y1) and (X2, y2)
what points do you want to use ?

Answer 6

how about (0, -4) and (-5, 0)? do you see those points

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

now put (y2 - y1) the change in y over (x2-x1) the change in x
this is the slope it is a fraction

Answer 9

what is the change in y?

Answer 10

y=4x+-5:(

Answer 11

another approach
if you are at (-5, 0) do you move up or down to get to the other point

Answer 12

down

Answer 13

you that's a - and how many places down

Answer 14

* so

Answer 15

-4

Answer 16

welcome back

Answer 17

now did you move left or right ? and how many places?

Answer 18

left -4

Answer 19

you are starting at (-5, 0) and you went down 4 places did you go left or right to get to the other point

Answer 20

thxs:)

Answer 21

ok if you don't want to continue. It would be respectful to say that even if you don't say why.

you went to the right 5 places so the slope is
change in y/ change in x = -4/5
expressed as a decimal = -0.8

Answer 22

ok will not do that again sorry:)
