Which equation best represents the line? y = 3 over 4. x + 4 y = 4 over 3.x + 4 y = 4x + 3 over 4. y = 4x + 4 over 3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (ashes.boom):

the last two are out becuase the y intercept is 4 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (ashes.boom):

okay now the slope of the line is the measurement of the change in y over the change in x so for instance if the slope was 1/2 than you would start on one point and move 1 up and 2 across.

OpenStudy (ashes.boom):

you could also use the formula i gave you last time

OpenStudy (ashes.boom):

what do you wanna do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 0,2

OpenStudy (ashes.boom):

did you use the formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x1-y1 AND x2-y2 right

OpenStudy (ashes.boom):

normally when you use the formula you'll get a fraction becuase it uses those two points in the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll do it a second time

OpenStudy (ashes.boom):

if you use the y intercept as 0, 4 that can be one of your points then just find another point on the graph like 4, 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 3/4

OpenStudy (ashes.boom):

yep thats right :) good job

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so A or C would be a answer

OpenStudy (ashes.boom):

its only one of them. remember that a lines equation is y = (slope)x + (y intercept)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c

OpenStudy (ashes.boom):

not really. Whats the y intercept do you remember?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/4

OpenStudy (ashes.boom):

thats the slope the y intercept is where the line intersects with the y axis

OpenStudy (ashes.boom):

the first thing we did was find the y intercept do you remmebr what it was?
