Which equation is graphed here? http://static.k12.com/calms_media/media/1312500_1313000/1312639/1/5634cf4cc78c5f954e9151076931e1346ad3a658/HS_A1G2_S1_07_08_ART1.jpg

OpenStudy (bohotness):

which one do you think it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try simplifying the answers into y=mx+b form. Then you can see the x-intercepts for each and see if they match. Another way to check is to calculate the slope between two points on the graph, and see which equation it matches. If you need help with either of these strategies I can help!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i need help lol

@sophflake

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pick out two points on the graph first. then i'll tell you how to check the slope.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(4,-2) (-2,2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To calculate the slope, do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). So, (2-[-2])/(-2-4). What do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sophflake

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually, you should get 4/-6, which simplifies to -2/3. which answers can you eliminate now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b and c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what tells me whether a or b is correct? @sophflake

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take one of the points you found and plug the x into the equation. if you end up with the correct y value, it's the right equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u walk me thru the substitution?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@SolomonZelman can u help me with the rest of this problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?*

@Godlovesme

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

What's ur question? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have to take one of the points found and plug the x into the equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i need help with it

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

So u have slope and points u just need to pick which eqn is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

K do u see the points (-2,4) and (2,-2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u think u could tell me n ill do the work later? i have to leave to louisiana in a bit :l

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

Sure I'll pm u bye :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Pm? @Godlovesme

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

private message

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooh, lol when?

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

hang on

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

k first i dont think the slope is correct ... \[y2-y1 / x2-x1\] piclk any points and try to calculate slope

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

pick**
