Answer 1

bibby can you show me the steps to finding slope

Answer 2

can somebody help meh

Answer 3

for example can you show me all the steps to solve y-2=-3(x+1)

Answer 4

First things first: What IS slope?

Slope is:
the steepness of a line
comes in four types: positive, negative, zero, and undefined
is a ratio and never changes
represented by the letter m in the linear equation y = mx + b (this is also called the slope-intercept form)

Lesson 2: Using your BFF
As much as you probably are tired of hearing about the 'F' word, well, you are going to hear about it again right here. AND, you are going to LOVE it. Yeah, yeah, yeah…you're thinking, "Sure, Mrs. S-S." Ha! You will soon be saying, "Fractions are my BFF!" once you learn how they will help you with slope! Check it out… (and, forget about the book and that phrase 'rise over run' which always got ME confused because I could never remember which way to start—just stick with your BFF!)

Step 1: Take a look at your line.

Heavily mark two points (shown here in red).
You are going to draw a right triangle from the two points.
*I like to use the y-intercept as one of the points but you don't have to.
The hypotenuse of the triangle is your line.

Step 2: Drop a line down from one point and over from the other point to make a right triangle.

Step 3: Count the height of your right triangle.

Write this as your numerator.

In this example, the little curves indicate that the height of this right triangle is six (6) squares. So, the numerator is 6.

*If you learned the 'rise over run' method, then this is the rise number.

Answer 5

copy and paste >:(

Answer 6

i know im only 12

Answer 7

i know some stuff

Answer 8

just convert your equation to this form-
y=mx+c

the m will be your slope :)

Answer 9

yeah i know but what is M! and C!

Answer 10

m is the slope of the line
and
c is the y intercept of the line :)

Answer 11

so y=m-3+1

Answer 12

where did the x go

Answer 13

i no wthe answer is -3=m but i have no idea how to really find it :(

Answer 14

pink can you help me

Answer 15

i will just one sec :)

Answer 16

ok

Answer 17

y-2=-3(x+1)
y-2=-3x-3
add 2 to both sides
y=-3x-1

-3 is your slope

Answer 18

ok thank you that is what i wanted :) you are great :)

Answer 19

:)
