Answer 2

help will give medal

Answer 3

do u see where the line hits the y-intercept?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

-2 right ?

Answer 6

..no hold on

Answer 7

ok

Answer 8

i meant positive 2

Answer 9

the line only only hits the number 2 not the actual point lol look at the pic (:

Answer 10

the point hits at 1

Answer 11

yes :) good job!

so do u see any perfect point like where the line perfectly meets?

Answer 12

i think a picture will better explain what im trying to say .. one sec

Answer 13

ok

Answer 14

^^^ are what i call perfect points

Answer 15

confused?

Answer 16

yea

Answer 17

which part is confusing you?

Answer 18

why did u put all those dots

Answer 19

to show where the line have two perfect points hold up i'll show u what non-perfect point look like

Answer 20

ok

Answer 21

look at the purple dot, it's between number not exactly a specific number

Answer 22

do u see the red line i made to connect 2 and -3?

Answer 23

yea

Answer 24

ok so if i make a line that connects to the purple point it would lie between 1 and 2 on the x-axis and -1 and -2 on the y-axis

Answer 25

hmm did i confuse u again ? :/

Answer 26

no

Answer 27

yayy :D the nxt step is very easy :)

now look at the two red point i picked
i have to go 2 units up and 1 unit to the left to get to the other point see?

Answer 28

okay

Answer 29

@tigergirl0000 do u see how i found the slope? (:

Answer 30

yeaa

Answer 31

i'll just post the rest and tag me if u dont understand, when u get back (:

slope= -2
y-intercept= 1 (where the line hits the y-axis)

y=mx+b is the slope-intercept formula where m is slope and b is the y-intercept
so, the equation will be y= -2x+1 :)
hope that helped

Answer 32

so the answer is y = -2x + 1? @Godlovesme

Answer 33

yes :)

Answer 34

ok thank you can you help me with one more?
