-14 would be the slope @Routohan75
OpenStudy (routohan75):
Thank you
OpenStudy (andrewishere):
2/1. Up 2 over 1
OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't understand your answer
OpenStudy (russianboss1):
up2 to the right 1, 2/1
OpenStudy (andrewishere):
The -7 is the y-intercept. Thats where the first point is placed. 2/1 is the slope of the line
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I just multiplied 2 by negative 7 and I got -14
OpenStudy (routohan75):
I AM SO CONFUSED LOL. So it wouldn't be -14 @AndrewIsHere?

|dw:1448982621976:dw|thats the line
OpenStudy (andrewishere):
roughly.
OpenStudy (routohan75):
ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok so what would be the correct answer than @AndrewIsHere
OpenStudy (andrewishere):
I am not understanding why you just multiplied m and b on the equation y=mx+b

so it looks like(0, -7)
OpenStudy (routohan75):
on the graph
OpenStudy (andrewishere):
The slope should be 2/1. You start at y-intercept -7, then move up 2 units on y-axis and over 1 unit to the right on the x-axis
OpenStudy (routohan75):
Ya that is starting to sound familiar from school
OpenStudy (andrewishere):
(0,-7) is y-intercept. 2, technically is slope, or 2/1

ok
OpenStudy (andrewishere):
ok :) so the equation is in the form y=mx+b, where m is slope and b is y-intercept if that helps
OpenStudy (routohan75):
That does help alot thank you!!!
OpenStudy (routohan75):
I am just the worst at math lol.!!
OpenStudy (andrewishere):
Np :) Thanks for your patience
