So I am unsure of what I have and I would like it if someone were to further explain to me what I have to do. I don't fully understand the problem

OpenStudy (triciaal):

rephrase y = -2 what group has 2 points and the y value is -2

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

Ok let me think this through

OpenStudy (triciaal):

given (x, y) and y = -2

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

If the y value is -2 and I am finding two points on the line I think it would be 2,-2 and 0,-2

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

Explain what I did right or wrong and if wrong how to fix it and why I got it wrong

OpenStudy (triciaal):

I think you just got 1 point!

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

So it was right?

OpenStudy (triciaal):

so now we have to build some confidence yes you can do it right

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

I'm just doubting myself in this unit because I am struggling to fully understand the lessons and the lessons just don't seem to sink in. So I need lots of guidance through the homeworks and it is hard when my teacher lives across the US and can only answer at different times while this way I can just talk back and forth and someone can write it out for me with me

OpenStudy (triciaal):

what did I ask you to do? clear your mind of negative stuff

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

Ok sorry.. not meaning to be negative... just explaining

OpenStudy (triciaal):

be receptive

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

What does that mean?

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

Now the next question I am completely lost. I don't know where to start

OpenStudy (triciaal):

mails crossed its ok to explain I need your teachers pay!

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

Where do I start???

OpenStudy (triciaal):

post a new

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

oh ok

OpenStudy (triciaal):

you are younger so you naturally type faster

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

yeah

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

So should I close this one and post a new?

OpenStudy (triciaal):

no

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

Ok now where do I start for this one

OpenStudy (triciaal):

|dw:1420997693429:dw|

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

ok

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

I'm just so confused!!! Ok clearing my mind... I am open to explanations, mind cleared of negative thoughts

OpenStudy (triciaal):

slope is the change in y divided by the change in x m = (y2 - y1)/ (x2 - x1) for any 2 points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

OpenStudy (triciaal):

that's a start where is x = 4?

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

On the graph?

OpenStudy (triciaal):

yes click on my graph then add x = 4
