1. Write the equation of the line with a slope of -5 and a y-intercept of (0,3).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know your equation without any of that stuff added ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wouldnt it be \[y=mx+b\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe but where do the numbers go in that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

m is your slope and b is your y-intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be 0,3=-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no your y-intercept is only the y which in this case is 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is confusing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay have you done this before?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

every time someone tells me how to do it, it just sounds like they make it up as they go

OpenStudy (anonymous):

slope is one of the only things that will not click with me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here is an example my slope is 6 and my y-intercept is 9 \[y=6x+9\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

see where they go ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but if your y is 9 then why wouldnt it go in the back

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in the front*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i forget i havent done algebra for two years but as i got to looking at your equation they should give you coordinates and a y-intercept they dont give you anymore info for your question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1. Write the equation of the line with a slope of -5 and a y-intercept of (0,3). 2. Write the equation of the line with a slope of -1/3 and passing through the point (6, -4). 3. Write the equation of the line passing through the points (0, -4) and (-2, 2). 4. Write the equation of the line passing through the points (-6,1) and (-4,2). 5. Write the equation of the line with an undefined slope, passing through the point (2, 5). Hint: refer back to project 4.04 for help with this one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oky is your question multiple choice?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they gave me 5 and thats all that was there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well algebra has obviously gotten harder ill tag some people who should be able to help you one minute

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is actually liberal arts math @Emma_1997

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay.. these people should be able to help you they have helped me in the past @iGreen @dan815

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dan dont never help me when i tag him!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@texaschic101

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Compassionate @thomaster

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what the heck man! u been lookin at my question for 30 min! @dan815

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Emma_1997 do u know anyone else??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i told you he dont help
