Need Help PLEASE

OpenStudy (khalilforthewin):

with what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im so confused The question: The graph shows the amount of drink mix that was added to water at different intervals. What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form, that represents this situation? The graph: http://gyazo.com/a01fa44eee68f8db75008baca1f1024d

sammixboo (sammixboo):

slope-intercept form is y = mx + b Where m = slope and b = y intercept

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Do you know how to find the slope of this line on the graph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No I dont sadly

OpenStudy (khalilforthewin):

you need to know how to do that to answer this question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it rise over run?

OpenStudy (khalilforthewin):

yea

sammixboo (sammixboo):

After you find the slope, you plug that where m is in the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well I understand that but there are no points

OpenStudy (khalilforthewin):

If you do rise over run you you plug that in to the formula y=mx+b

sammixboo (sammixboo):

You make your own points that lie on the line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its still confusing

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Ok so let's choose these two points http://prntscr.com/6ksotk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Can you find the slope given those two points? Any points you choose, the slope will always be the same, just letting you know.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(4,3) and (6,4) But if you do rise over run wouldnt it be run is 2 and rise is 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y2 - y1 over x2 - x1 4 - 3 over 6 - 4 1/2 correct?
