Slope intercept

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

I got y=-1/5x+4

OpenStudy (eric_d):

y=mX+c

OpenStudy (eric_d):

m=gradient/slope c=y-intercept

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

Ok.. then I am comfused.

OpenStudy (eric_d):

why

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

did I do it wrong?

OpenStudy (eric_d):

nope

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

oh

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

How do I find out how to graph?

OpenStudy (eric_d):

You got it rite so far..

OpenStudy (eric_d):

Step 1: Put the equation in Slope Intercept Form. ... Step 2: Graph the y-intercept point (the number in the b position) on the y-axis. ... Step 3: From the point plotted on the y-axis, use the slope to find your second point. ... Step 4: Draw your line using the two points you plotted (y-intercept (b) first, slope (m) second.

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

Ok, but how do I figure out what points to graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

very easy, you have x + 5y =20, right? just let x =0, then y = 4 (mark this point) let y =0, then x =20 ( mark this point, also) link those points, done.
