Question

I need help understanding how to find the slope/y intercept of a linear equation

Answer 1

do you have any equation ??

Answer 2

Linear equation?

Answer 3

Like the equation y = mx + b?

Answer 4

If you are given the equation y = mx + b, you can find the slope and y-intercept.

Because m = slope, and b = y-intercept.

Answer 5

\[2y + 4 =3x\]

Answer 6

slope you have to use formula
to find slope

Answer 7

solve for y first

Answer 8

subtract 4 both side

Answer 9

I already did that

Answer 10

okay what you got after taht

Answer 11

It looks like this

\[2y = 3x-4\]

Answer 12

yes now divide both side by 2

Answer 13

Oh, now divide all terms by 2:

\(y = \dfrac{3}{2}x - 2\)

Now it's int he form of y = mx + b, where m is slope, and b is y-intercept.

So what's the slope and y-intercept?

Answer 14

So does it look like this

\[y= 3/2x-2\]

Answer 15

Oh lol ok. The slope is 3/2 and the y intercept is -2

Answer 16

yes right
now slope intercept form equation is y = mx +b where m is slope which is always with x

Answer 17

yes right

Answer 18

Thank you
