do you know how to find where that broken line touches the y-axis?
OpenStudy (freckles):
the y-axis is that bold vertical line
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No I dont understand any of this please explain it to me
OpenStudy (freckles):
do you see the broken line?
do you see which number is being hit on the y-axis?

-2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
And 3
OpenStudy (freckles):
as i said the y-axis is the bold vertical line
OpenStudy (freckles):
the broken line on touches one number on the y-axis
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3

OpenStudy (freckles):
why do you say 3 and not 4?
OpenStudy (freckles):
did you post the write graph
because I see a broken line going through 4 on the y-axis
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oops I meant 4 sorry
OpenStudy (freckles):
ok so we know lines are in the form y=mx+b
where b=y intercept
and m=slope
OpenStudy (freckles):
you should found b

OpenStudy (freckles):
so we have y=mx+4 so far
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok
OpenStudy (freckles):
you could find m by pluggin in another point on y=mx+b
are you can do that whole counting up thing and counting across thing since m=slope=rise/run
OpenStudy (freckles):
what point besides (0,4) do you see on the line?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):
I see -2 on the x
OpenStudy (freckles):
that isn't a point
but i guess you are identifying the x-intercept
which is (-2,0)
OpenStudy (freckles):
so plug in (-2,0) into y=mx+4 to find m
OpenStudy (freckles):
that is replace y with 0 and x with -2
OpenStudy (freckles):
0=m(-2)+4
solve for m

OpenStudy (anonymous):
Do I subtract 0 from both sides
OpenStudy (freckles):
no you are trying to solve for m not 0
OpenStudy (freckles):
subtracting 0 on both sides gives you the same equation 0=m(-2)+4
OpenStudy (freckles):
do you mean subtracting 4 on both sides
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ok I'm lost

OpenStudy (freckles):
m(-2)=-2m
you have 0=-2m+4
OpenStudy (freckles):
you should be able to solve this for m in two steps
OpenStudy (freckles):
do you know how to subtract 4 on both sides
OpenStudy (freckles):
do you know how to take 4 away from 0
and do you know how to take 4 from 4?
