Complete the equation of the graphed linear function. Write the slope in decimal form. y=___x+___ ?

OpenStudy (yolomcswagginsggg):

Y=5x+4

Mehek (mehek14):

@yolomcswagginsggg you cannot give direct answers it is against the COC

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

@yolomcswagginsggg Plagiarism is violating, and so is direct answers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but I don't get it how is it 5 and 4

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

@FateRocks8D Slope decimal form? You mean slope intercept form, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=mx+b but I looked at the graph and I don't understand it :(

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Well, I'm actually mad right now because @yolomcswagginsggg gave you not only the wrong answer, but no explanation what so ever.

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Anyhow. y=mx+b b=y intercept m=slope Calculate the slope first. I see two points on your graph. 2,0 and 0,-1 slope=y2-y1/x2-x1 Wanna calculate the slope for me?

OpenStudy (lizz123):

First you should want to figure wht is the y-intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um, the y- intercept is -1?

OpenStudy (lizz123):

yes so you have y=mx+-1 So now you need to figure out the slope

OpenStudy (lizz123):

to find the slope go to the y-intercept and use\[\frac{ rise }{ run }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=2+-1 idk im so confused

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Your y intercept is correct. But slope not so much. Slope=y2-y1/x2-x1 2,0 and 0,-1 are 2 of your points -1-0/0-2 What's your slope?

OpenStudy (lizz123):

To calculate the slope of a line you need only two points from that line, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). The equation used to calculate the slope from two points is: On a graph, this can be represented as: There are three steps in calculating the slope of a straight line when you are not given its equation.
