Question

^-^ Help is very much needed, math isn't my strong suit.

What is the equation of the line expressed in slope-intercept form?



A.
y = 4x – 2

B.
y = –2x + 4

C.
y = 2x + 2

D.
y = –2x – 4

Answer 1

Answer 2

slop = y=mx+b wheres the line?

Answer 3

ok where is the line hitting on the y axis?

Answer 4

Uh, -4 I think

Answer 5

yes so we have our y intercept now what about x where is the line hitting?

Answer 6

-2

Answer 7

good so -4 is the y intercept and -2 is the x intercept now plug it in! y=mx+b

Answer 8

I'm confused :/

Answer 9

ok X intercept is -2 where does it fit in y=mx+b?

Answer 10

Uhhh... y=m-2+b??

Answer 11

nope your making it harder than it needs to be ok\[y=mx+b\] this is the slop intercept equation got it?

Answer 12

Okay.

Answer 13

so X intercept which is -2 you would plug in place of M so what does your equation look like? once you plug in the numbers?

Answer 14

y=-2x+4

Answer 15

omg your so close!!! remeber its -4 try again :) you're almost there

Answer 16

do you know?

Answer 17

y=-2x+-4

Answer 18

Is it D?

Answer 19

take out the + sign and yep! well done!! :D

Answer 20

Thank you again!

Answer 21

Hahah no probs :)

Answer 22

For the reference:
Slope-intercept:\[y=mx+b\]
Point slope: \[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\]
RAO or slope: \[m=\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }\]
