its the same as before
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=mx+b
Nnesha (nnesha):
y = mx +b
again slope is m
y -intercept point is where line cross y-axis when |dw:1430690808616:dw|
OpenStudy (anonymous):
m is the slope plug it in
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=3x+b

y=-2x+b
Nnesha (nnesha):
yes you can substitute values
or just use definition of y-intercept
OpenStudy (anonymous):
correct
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3=-2(0)+b
3=B...
Nnesha (nnesha):
yes you can substitute values
or just use definition of y-intercept
y-intercept where line cross y-axis when x =0

0+b
Nnesha (nnesha):
yes that's right so when x =0 y = y-intercept
Nnesha (nnesha):
so when you look at the order pair if first number is 0 2nd number of order pair would be y=intercept always ! :-)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I don't get it..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I get that the y intercept it -2

I mean 3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
And the slope is -2
Nnesha (nnesha):
okay |dw:1430690988960:dw|
y-intercept is a point where line cross y-axis
