OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are given the equation in point-slope form which is this: \[y=mx+b\] in this form, m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. Given that information do you know which graph it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry it's called slope intercept form my bad/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well do you know what a slope is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright do you know what I mean by y-intercept?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright so given that the y-intercept is -4 what answer choices can you eliminate?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a and d?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you tell me what it means by y-intercept?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The Y-Intercept of a line is the point where a line's graph intersects the Y-axis.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes so do you wish to change your answer of eliminating answer choices a and d?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm I mean that while answer choice a's y-intercept is not -4, answer choice d's y-intercept is. Do you see that?
