Answer 8

@Tres_Jolie

Answer 9

Is it "Simple Math" or is there a Complex way to it?

Answer 10

what grade are you in and is this algebra

Answer 11

It will be easy to eyeball the slope if you rearrange that equation to `slope-intercept form` :
\[y = \color{red}{m}x+b\]

\(\color{Red}{m}\) is the slope here

Answer 12

Yes and grade 8

Answer 13

part of a semester test i have to take/finish, And b = y-intercept. i know the y = mx+b part

Answer 14

so all i need here is slope?

Answer 15

its a fraction, by the way.....(Thanks for the help lol)

Answer 16

ooohhhh ok

Answer 17

let me see give me a min

Answer 18

Exactly! go ahead and write the equation in `y = mx + b` form

Answer 19

@austin11111

Answer 20

it always confuses me to write it though....will be a few minutes.

Answer 21

y = 4x-16 ?

Answer 22

did i do it correct? lol

Answer 23

@ Master_Chief_117
write out the formula with the numbers you have
like y=mx+b
8=m*4+b

Answer 24

The way i got it, is y = 4x - 16, So, 4/1 at that point?

Answer 25

so did you use the formula

Answer 26

Quite confusing :/

Answer 27

yep

Answer 28

how did you get y = 4x - 16 ?

Answer 29

Its kind of hard to explain, Its just a way my father showed me how to do it......One moment

Answer 30

Oh crap Moms calling...brb for a few

Answer 31
