do you know slope formula ??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes..y=mx +b
Nnesha (nnesha):
formula :) that's e quation
Nnesha (nnesha):
equation **
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y2 -y1 over x2 -x1

good now replace x and y values into the equations
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I got 1/2
Nnesha (nnesha):
\[(x _{1} ,y _{1})(x _{2} ,y _{2} )\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but now I don't know how to get the y intercept
Nnesha (nnesha):
what is slope ??

1/2
Nnesha (nnesha):
1/2 are u sure ?? :)
Nnesha (nnesha):

now use y = mx + b
equation replace m by -1/2 and use one of ur order (doesn't matter which one u select)
so replace y and x by one of order pair
Nnesha (nnesha):
lol i'm here :P
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1 =1/2(0) + b
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that's right
Nnesha (nnesha):
nope slope is -1/2

but bec x is 0 so doesn't matter
0 times -1/2 = 0
1/2 times 0 = 0
Nnesha (nnesha):
|dw:1421617335004:dw|
so b = ??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
equals 1
Nnesha (nnesha):
by the way you don't have to plug that into equation
bec you should know y-intercept when x is 0
Nnesha (nnesha):
|dw:1421617403578:dw|
in this order pair x is 0 so slope is 1
don't need to solve and plug :)
