What is the equation?

anonymous · Answer

number 5

haleyelizabeth2017 · Answer

Okay. Give me a moment.

anonymous · Answer

okay  c:

haleyelizabeth2017 · Answer

I can't tell what the slope is......it's too small :/

haleyelizabeth2017 · Answer

got it. it is 1/2 for slope and the y-intercept is -2

haleyelizabeth2017 · Answer

wait! 3/1 whoopsies :P

haleyelizabeth2017 · Answer

do you know what the slope-intercept form would be then?

anonymous · Answer

Ok, so what is your y-intercept?

anonymous · Answer

2??

haleyelizabeth2017 · Answer

close, but not quite. it is -2.

anonymous · Answer

@MathHelpplease20000  so now that youu know what the y-intercept is, do you know the slope?

haleyelizabeth2017 · Answer

wait....isn't standard form the x+y=b or something like that?

anonymous · Answer

@haleyelizabeth2017 it's actually Ax+By=C

haleyelizabeth2017 · Answer

lol okay I didn't remember :P

anonymous · Answer

well I know the answer I just need help showing work

anonymous · Answer

It's alright I forget some of this myself and I'm a 100+ math student .

anonymous · Answer

Ok let me see if i can draw it out and explain
