Hi! Looking for some "virtual tutoring" with my open book assignments. Since I do my assignments in the middle of the night due to family/work obligations, I am not able to access my teachers when they are normally available&would truly appreciate any help that is offered to help me understand the material fully. Okay so for my 1st question, I am just looking to check it to see if I was correct with my answer&then if not, we can go from there.

The slope of a line is 0, and the y-intercept is 6. What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form?

*y=6
*y=6x
*y=x+6

nuttyliaczar · Answer

What does a slope of 0 do to the equation?

anonymous · Answer

The zero slope indicates a horizontal line. Is this what you are asking?

nuttyliaczar · Answer

When looking at the equation I mean. The 0 would still show up in some way. If you had a slope of 2 instead what would the equation be?

anonymous · Answer

So it passes through (0,6) yes?

anonymous · Answer

That I think is what is confusing me as well...

nuttyliaczar · Answer

Same intercept but slope of 2

anonymous · Answer

Relooking at this i think I may have put it into general form by mistake...slope form is y=k which would make it y=6?

anonymous · Answer

Okay so you mean (2,6)?

nuttyliaczar · Answer

Whew I can see we have some work to do here xD but no worries, at least I have a feel for what you know now

anonymous · Answer

Urg! I'm sorry...it's just confusing.

anonymous · Answer

I truly appreciate your help. ^_^

nuttyliaczar · Answer

Define slope for me in your own words

anonymous · Answer

it's the rate of the change in a line

nuttyliaczar · Answer

If your variables are x and f(x), what does slope mean?

anonymous · Answer

Slope intercept form is given by:$$
y=mx+b
$$We replace $m$ with the slope and $b$ with the interecept.

nuttyliaczar · Answer

Well I was going to teach it from scratch but okay =/

anonymous · Answer

I'm not sure what it would mean then...

anonymous · Answer

Yes, I have that formula as well, but think learning from scratch right now is wise.

anonymous · Answer

y=mx+b 
y=0x+6 (0 times anything is zero which cancels that out)
y=6 

Yes?

skullpatrol · Answer

Yes :)

still need help ?

anonymous · Answer

Thank you, @skullpatrol ! ^_^

Thanks for asking :D
