Question

write an equation in the form y=mx+b for the line that has a slope of 1/4 and contains the point (12,3)

Answer 1

m=the slope
To find b:
substitute the slope and the point and then solve; like: 3=m(12)+b

Answer 2

1/4 is the slope

Answer 3

yes so that gives us y=1/4 +3

Answer 4

because "b" is the y-intercept

Answer 5

ok thanks

Answer 6

said i was wrong

Answer 7

still need help?

Answer 8

lol yes i do geting as much notes as i can

Answer 9

Just like the last one we need to start off with the formula
\[\huge~y-y1=m(x-x1)\]
1/4=m
12=x1
3=y1

Answer 10

the last one we did was wrong too for some reason

Answer 11

hmmm :/
\[\huge~y-3=1/4(x-12)\]

Answer 12

distribute
1/4 * x =?
1/4 * -12 = ?

Answer 13

-3

Answer 14

\[\huge~y−3+3= 1 4 x−3+3 \]

Answer 15

we add 3 to both sides and then everything cancels and now we are only left with y=1/4x

Answer 16

^that should be correct
