do you know how to find the slope and y-int?

OpenStudy (narissa):

its just confusing

OpenStudy (narissa):

im in a special class for math and this is hard

Mehek (mehek14):

to find the slope use \(\dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\)

Mehek (mehek14):

first choose and two ordered pairs

Mehek (mehek14):

let's do line 1 (-2,4) (2,6) \(\dfrac{6 - 4}{2 - (-2)}\)

OpenStudy (narissa):

ive take this stupid stuff five times now and its just hard!

Mehek (mehek14):

\(\dfrac{2}{4} = \dfrac{1}{2}\)

Mehek (mehek14):

now we find the y-int of it \(y = \dfrac{1}{2}x + b\) \(6 = \dfrac{1}{2}*2 + b\)

Mehek (mehek14):

\(5 = b\) so the equation for line1 is \(y = \dfrac{1}{2}x + 5\)

Mehek (mehek14):

you need a decimal for slope so put 0.5

Mehek (mehek14):

now the slope for line 2 (-2, -2) (0, 4) \(\dfrac{4 - (-2)}{ 0 - (-2)} = \dfrac{6}{2} = 3\)

Mehek (mehek14):

\(y = 3x + b\) solve for b \(-2 = 3* -2 + b\) \(4 = b\)

Mehek (mehek14):

so your second equation is \(y = 3x + 4\)

thanks alot can u check my last answer nobody told me if it was right or wrong i will post it again

Mehek (mehek14):

sure

OpenStudy (narissa):
