I can help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you want my help or not?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

any help is good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For medal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Look at the y-intercept and tell me what it is @sethRB26DETT

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=mx+b is the formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so now plug it in . y=mx+5

OpenStudy (igreen):

Take any two points on the graph: Let's take (0, 5) and (-3, 3): Plug it in the slope formula: \(m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\) \(m = \dfrac{3-5}{-3-0}\) Simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find 2 points and find out how to get there now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@iGreen would it be 2/-3

OpenStudy (igreen):

Check again, 3 - 5 isn't 2

OpenStudy (igreen):

Hold on, brb

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh kay its -2/-3

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, and that's the same as 2/3, so the slope is 2/3, and the y-intercept is 5. So we have: \(y = \dfrac{2}{3}x + 5\)
