Answer 7

Can you help me on one more question?

Answer 8

Sure

Answer 9

Great. Thanks. So the question is asking what is the slope of y= 9x - 2

And MY question is HOW do you find the slope?

Answer 10

And what is the slope?

Answer 11

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.

Answer 12

I'm not quite understanding. It did give me the equation. it is y = 9x - 2..


Look, this is the question it is asking me ;

The equation shows the relationship between x and y:

y = 9x − 2

What is the slope of the equation?
−9
−2
7
9

Answer 13

The slope is 9

Answer 14

You find the slope by making a graph? You make a graph and that's how you find the slope?

Answer 15

Thanks. I still have to practice on that.

Answer 16

Sorry about the confusion tho.
