:)

pooja195 (pooja195):

Ok basically we have to solve for x and y Kind of like how we find x and y intercepts

pooja195 (pooja195):

Basically what you want to do is the following When solving for x sub the y value for 0 and solve for x \[\huge~\rm~4x+56=0\]

pooja195 (pooja195):

Can you solve for x?

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

Oki i will now

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

sorry for the delay

pooja195 (pooja195):

np :)

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

-14

pooja195 (pooja195):

Great so x=-14 Do the same for y but now we have to put x as 0 \[\huge~\rm~ 4(0)+56=y\]

pooja195 (pooja195):

Solve for y

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

okay

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

56

pooja195 (pooja195):

Well done now which answer goes where.

pooja195 (pooja195):

?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Hello?

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

Im here sorry The tabs and the lag

pooja195 (pooja195):

Ok sorry. all you need to figure out is where the x and y values go in your answer spot.

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

We did that right?

pooja195 (pooja195):

We found the value of x and y x=-14 y=56 where do these numbers belong like in which blank

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

56 goes for the first one when they started and -14 for road length ?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Well done

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

it said it was incorrect lol did we miss a final step?

pooja195 (pooja195):

@sleepyjess what did we do wrong? .-.

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

Oh i had another person help me with another one and I guess we need to substract now

pooja195 (pooja195):

Subtract what?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

I see the mistake, you found x, but didn't put -14 in for x, you put in 0

pooja195 (pooja195):

We have to plug it back in?

pooja195 (pooja195):

I thought we were finding intercepts

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

oh wait, nvm didn't read the question all the way

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

i guess we need to substract 56 -14 or -14-56

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

another person did that on another question with me

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Okay, for the first one, we need to find the y-intercept

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Subtract??? O.o

pooja195 (pooja195):

We did y=56

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

Lol it worked last time

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Okay, so the y-intercept is the length the road was when they started

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Then for the second one, we need to find the slope

pooja195 (pooja195):

ohhh wait

pooja195 (pooja195):

\[\huge~\rm~4x+56=y\] b intercept is 56 which means the slope is 4?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

We no need x-intercept :P

pooja195 (pooja195):

@ElisaNeedsHelp try 4 (x)

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Yep, slope would be 4

pooja195 (pooja195):

x=4 y=56

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

I'm used to y = mx + b not mx + b = y so I started confusing myself lol

pooja195 (pooja195):

I overthought the problem ;-p

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Same xD

pooja195 (pooja195):

Elisa wake up!!

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Jess wake up!!

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

You have an essay to finish!!

pooja195 (pooja195):

I wanna sleep lets go type in the answer and say its correct ;)

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

Im awake Im here

pooja195 (pooja195):

Ok x=4 y=56

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

Sorry ironically Im helping another friend with math even tho I suck at math.

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

Okay so 56 would still be the first one

pooja195 (pooja195):

ye

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

are you sleepy? do you have to go now?

pooja195 (pooja195):

mhm i have school why? :P and was this correcT?

pooja195 (pooja195):

ima go really need to go now gn :) Ill help tommrow btw ik this is ALEKS ;)

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

Lol yeah you are a school girl goodnight!

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

Lol you do (; Haha. And thank you so much. I've felt so unloved on here all day.

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

Yeah it was correct

pooja195 (pooja195):

yw ;) <3 ily ;p Pooja loves all >:D
