picture question
@aaronq
So, the equation is y = mx +b Do you know what the m and b stand for?
mass and base? or not mass, it is base though.. @FortyTheRapper
Actually, the m stands for slope and the b stands for the y-intercept To make it: y= (Slope)x + (Y-Intercept) That make sense so far?
hmmm not really @FortyTheRapper
ok.... look at the graph where does the like cut the y-axis... ?
In other words, according to this question, the y-intercept is the y value in where the line crosses the y axis The slope tells you the amount it is "slanted"
First you have to find the slope by using (any) two points and the coordinates of these (the x and y values) |dw:1450133038315:dw| \(\sf slope=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)
After you need to identify the y-intercept ("b" in the y=mx+b equation). |dw:1450133344638:dw|
