Fans & Medals!! I really need help!
Complete the equations of the system in slope-intercept form. Use a decimal for the slope if necessary.
Line 1
x y
0 3
1 5
Line 2
x y
–1 1
–2 –1
Line 1: y =___ x +___
Line 2: y =___ x +___

Do you know how to find slope?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yea m=y2-y1/x2-x1
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
Ok, so for the first line, plug in those points
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y2-y1/x2-x1= 5-3/1-0
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
Ok, and that is 2/1

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
So 2 is the slope for the first one
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
Now, when x = 0, what is y?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1?
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
Look at the table,
x y
0 3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh srry was looking at the equation your right =D

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
Ok, so the equation for the first one is y = 2x + 3
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
Now, do the same thing for the second line
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I got y=-2/4x+4
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
How are you getting -2/4?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y2-y1/x2-x1= -1-1/-2-2=-2/-4 then plug it in to y=mx+b

check your points again
(-1,1)
(-2,-1)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh lol ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok so this time i got y=2x+4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hold on noo
OpenStudy (dumbcow):
not quite, intercept is wrong
y = mx + b
1 = 2(-1) + b
