**Will Medal** What is the slope-intercept form of the function that contains the point (3, 4) and has a slope of 2? y = ? x + ?
I need help ASAP plzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our slope-intercept form of a line is given by:\[\Large\rm y=mx+b\]Do you know which letter corresponds to the slope?
Woops I clicked the wrong question >.< lol Sorry sorry.
Anyway, y=mx+b. m is our slope.
Ok
Giving us,\[\Large\rm y=2x+b\]
To find the y-intercept, \(\Large\rm b\), we need to plug in the point that they gave us,\[\Large\rm 4=2(3)+b\]And then solve for b. Do you understand how I plugged that coordinate in? Solve for b! What do you get? :)
So I would multiply 2 and which gives me 6?
2 and 3 my bad
mhm, then we need to isolate the b somehow. Hmm, the 6 is being `added` to the b. To isolate the b, we want to perform the inverse to move the 6 to the other side. Inverse of addition? :o
Um not sure how to do that
Subtraction is the opposite of addition, yes? So we'll subtract 6 from each side to get the b alone.
Ok which comes out to 6b or b6
|dw:1421805132318:dw|6b? Oh boy :( Not sure where that's coming from.
