What are the slope and point for 3y=x+11

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Hi there! And welcome to OpenStudy! :D

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

@dennis_Elan Do you have answer choices as well? Anyways, we can find the slope by converting your equation into the form of y = mx + b In the form y =mx + b m is the slope so 3y = x + 11 Divide both sides by 3. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Choices are slope of 1/3 for all. And points are (19,2) (17,-2) (-5,2)

Hi, I'm right here. I'm waiting for you to answer the question I just aksed you above. :)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I will get some paint going quickly to better draw an example...

I can't open it TheSmartOne

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Ok, lets start from y=2x+2|dw:1448228062514:dw|

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

my nephew came....

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I wil see if I an finish (he is 1 yr old)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

The slope (often denoted with letter m"), but what does sope mean? The sope answers this question: As the function travels 1 unit to the right, by how many units is it going up?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

s|dw:1448228284918:dw|

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

So you can see that the slope is 2. (Because the function goes up by 2 units, when it moves 1 unit right) Correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know. I've be subtracting y1 and y2 I've x2 - x1

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

You can do that too, excellent! |dw:1448228504213:dw|
