how can you find the y-intercept ?
Jesse got $5 from his dad and he makes $2 each time he walks the neighbor's dog.
Ok, so you need to make this statement into a y=mx+b equation
is it ax + bx = c
Where b would be the y-intercept
You can find the y-intercept by looking at the graph and seeing which point crosses the y axis. This point will always have an x coordinate of zero. This is another way to find the y-intercept, if you know the equation, the y-intercept is the solution to the equation when x = 0.
theirs no graph
there's
You can still find this with no graph
Look at the problem. We need to find what values would make up m and b in the y=mx+b equation
Jesse got $5 from his dad and he makes $2 each time he walks the neighbor's dog.i need the y-intercept for this problem there no graph what formula should i use ?
5 over 2 is that the slope ?????
No, the slope is something that constantly changes in the equation
In your problem, what value could change and what value stays the same throughout the problem?
ohh so.... y= 2x + 5 ?
Exactly
So what would your y-intercept be?
5 = b
Perfect
thannnkkkkk yooooooooooou !!!!!!!
np :)
can you double check me on a few more?
sure
