In your lesson did you learn anything about y-mx+b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*y=mx+b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what does m mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

M is the slope intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just the slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you think the slope of the line is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

remember slope is y over x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2/3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So now we have the first part of the equation. y=2/3x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like what does it mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

490?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would try again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b is the y-intercept,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and at the y intercept, the X is always 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Isn't y the line going up? I haven't done this in a while.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes
