Answer 1

Please help me!! I'd really appreciate it x

Answer 2

to find the slope, first find 2 points that are on the line.
one point is (-5,0)
can you find another point ?

Answer 3

no, where is -5,0?

Answer 4

the points are -4,1 and 0,4

Answer 5

phi?? can you help me with this please?

Answer 6

ok, -4,1 and it looks like 0, -4 (not +4)

not find change in y divided by change in x
(y is the 2nd number in the pair)

Answer 7

oh, your points should be (-4, -1) and (0,-4)

Answer 8

Sorry I don't really understand what your trying to say, can you just tell me the answer, im not trying to be rude or anything but if you can tell me the answer that would be great

Answer 9

oh..okay then

Answer 10

change in y is how much the y changes as you move from (-4,-1) to (0,-4)
in other words, the y changes from -1 down to -4
subtract to find the number.

Answer 11

then find the change in x, which is from x=-4 to x=0

Answer 12

ohhhh okay

Answer 13

im starting to get it

Answer 14

if you have time, see

Answer 15

already saw it actually

Answer 16

can you find change in y ? -1 - -4 ?

Answer 17

oh sorry ,back

Answer 18

sorry i cant see your response

Answer 19

is it 0,-4??

Answer 20

can you find change in y ? -1 - -4 ?

Answer 21

is it 0,4?

Answer 22

change in y is a single number

Answer 23

-1?

Answer 24

you could put your finger on (-4,-1) and count down until you are at the same y value as the point (0, -4)
how many boxes down do you count ?

Answer 25

-4?

Answer 26

down 3
down means negative.
the change in y is -3
now count over (sideways).

Answer 27

SSORRY-3 i meant 3 okay keep going

Answer 28

now count over (sideways).

Answer 29

to the left or right?

Answer 30

we picked (-4,-1) as the start point.
you move down 3, now move sideways toward the point (0,-4)

Answer 31

sorry but i have to go in 5 minutes (i have a class) and i really need to hurry up

Answer 32

that's what i said though

Answer 33

move sideways toward the point (0,-4)

Answer 34

if you are having trouble picking out which point is (0,-4)
it will take time to explain it.

Answer 35

oh no thats okay i know what point is which lol
