Question

draw a line with a slope of 1/4 through the point (0,-4)

Answer 1

y=mx+b

Answer 2

m=slope
b= -4

Answer 3

okay what is the question

Answer 4

Wrong

Answer 5

+- dont make sense

Answer 6

you have a negative 4

Answer 7

so there is not need for +

Answer 8

one of them is the answer

Answer 9

slope is the change from one point to another so starting with the point you have move one point over and four points up

Answer 10

does taht make sense?

Answer 11

not really

Answer 12

okay so the slope is 1 over 4. The slope represents the distance from the starting point to the new point you want to make okay?

Answer 13

so starting at 0, -4 you move one to the right (becuase the slope is positive) getting you to 1, -4. you following?

Answer 14

then you use the 4 from the slope to move 4 up (again because the slope is positive) getting you to (1, 0)

Answer 15

make sense?

Answer 16

let me try

Answer 17

okay

Answer 18

all this on a graph

Answer 19

tag me when your done okay

Answer 20

i dont get it at all @Ashes.boom

Answer 21

okay lets take a look at the last graph alright?

Answer 22

ok

Answer 23

what is the starting point

Answer 24

-4

Answer 25

(0, -4) the zero is important, it tells you that the point is on the x axis, does that make sense

Answer 26

yes

Answer 27

okay so you know that (x, y) are coordinates so your x value is 0 and the y is -4.

Answer 28

yes

Answer 29

how do you get from 0, -4 to 1, -4?

Answer 30

moving one

Answer 31

in what direction?

Answer 32

right

Answer 33

yes perfect. because you moved right, you "added" 1 does that make sense

Answer 34

yeah

Answer 35

okay so the top part of your slope is what?

Answer 36

-1

Answer 37

positive 1

Answer 38

0

Answer 39

if it was negative one you would have moved to the left into the negative numbers

Answer 40

right

Answer 41

so the first part of your slope is 1, right?

Answer 42

Now, how do you get from 1, -4 to 1, -3?

Answer 43

same way you moved the x value...

Answer 44

whats the answeer

Answer 45

its the last graph

Answer 46

i knew it

Answer 47

when you look at it can you see how you move over 1 and up 4?

Answer 48

thats crazy

Answer 49

yeah

Answer 50

okay cool! i hope that helped a little

Answer 51

yeah thx

Answer 52

your welcome :)
