I really need help ASAP! Thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

One second and I will get the line. Thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

r u in k12

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

No. Connections Academy

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

Will it answer my question?

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

Based on your name I guess you are not gonna help me...

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (drawwithapurpose):

well y=mx+b m being the slope and b being the y intercept. to find the slope it is rise/running. what you need to look for in this is problem is find where the line passes through a place in the graph for instance (-2,3) and then go to the y intercept (0, 4) that would make your slope 1/2. so it would be y=0.5x+4 :)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

as we can see , the line passes at points: \((-4,2)\) and \((0,4)\), so we have to apply this equation: \[\frac{{y - {y_1}}}{{{y_2} - {y_1}}} = \frac{{x - {x_1}}}{{{x_2} - {x_1}}}\] please replace this \(x_1=-4,y_1=2,x_2=0,y_2=4\) what do you get?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

after a substitution, I get this: \[\frac{{y - \left( 2 \right)}}{{4 - 2}} = \frac{{x - \left( { - 4} \right)}}{{0 - \left( { - 4} \right)}}\] please simplify

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

Okay one second

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

So, 2- (-4) and 2-4

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

-3?

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

after a simplification, I get: \[\frac{{y - 2}}{2} = \frac{{x + 4}}{4}\] now I multiply both sides by \(2\), so I get: \[y - 2 = \frac{2}{4}\left( {x + 4} \right)\] please continue

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

2y-8

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

we have: \[y - 2 = \frac{x}{2} + 2\] now, please if I add \(2\) to bot side I get: \[y - 2 + 2 = \frac{x}{2} + 2 + 2\] please simplify

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

x= 0 y= 4

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

??

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please you have to write an equation, what is \(-2+2=...?\)

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

0

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok! and what is \(2+2=...?\) Please note that such simple computation are needed to simplify my equation above

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

computations*

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

4

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

perfect! So we can write: \[y = \frac{x}{2} + 4\] which is the requested equation

OpenStudy (drawwithapurpose):

Oh i see!!! loli put the x in the wrong spot!!

OpenStudy (drawwithapurpose):

are you in Algebra 1? at CA? @I_love_my_nieces

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

So to work this out I just write out the question @Michele_Laino . Yes drawwithapurpose

OpenStudy (drawwithapurpose):

oh cool! i was last year!! are you enjoying it?

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

No, honestly

OpenStudy (drawwithapurpose):

tbh me neither lol

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

Haha. Finally someone who understands.

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

@Michele_Laino is that all I do?

OpenStudy (drawwithapurpose):

good luck!!! at least you don't have to worry about geometry until next year!!! lol

OpenStudy (drawwithapurpose):

and to answer your question, yes!

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

I might that summer school to get algebra 2 over and move right into geometry

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

OK! Thank you! Nice talking to you

OpenStudy (drawwithapurpose):

you too!!

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

Well do you have to go rn?

OpenStudy (drawwithapurpose):

enjoy the clubs if you are in any!!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes! we have completed the exercise @I_love_my_nieces

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

I was in pen pals, you?

OpenStudy (drawwithapurpose):

yeah i was!!! my pen pal was brittany wallace

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

Mine was Bethany Hagg

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

What state was your in?

OpenStudy (drawwithapurpose):

pennsylvania!! OH have you seen a Jennifer Roddy?

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

Mine too!!!!

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

No, I only did it for a semster

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

So do you know any other languages other than English?

OpenStudy (drawwithapurpose):

aww! okay hahah!! nopes...learned sign language but it didn't stick.

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

I known: English (main) Spanish (second) and ASL (third)

OpenStudy (drawwithapurpose):

cool!! well i've got to finish my homework!! ttyl!!

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

OK!! Talk to you later
