Hi
Welcome to openstudy :)
start with the basic info
y=mx+b <---slope-intercept form
m=slope
Can you write the equation with the slope in it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got y=-2x+2
pooja195 (pooja195):
I think you flipped the numbers around check again :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=2x+-4?

No, you has the right numbers just flipped the slope and y-intercept around remeber that our slope was postive 2
pooja195 (pooja195):
Now take your coordinate nu,bers and plug those into the equation :)
4=(2)(3)+b
now solve for b
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im confused
pooja195 (pooja195):
Where are you confused? What step? :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i think the first step

i might have done it wrong
pooja195 (pooja195):
Ok let me explain this better :P
We are give the slope 2
slope intercept form is
y=mx+b
slope = m
y=2x+b
now we need to find the b in our equation to do this we would plug in the coordinate pair numbers
y=4
x=3
4=(2)(3)+b
solve for b
OpenStudy (anonymous):
b=-2
pooja195 (pooja195):
Good so you would plug that into
y=2x+b
plug that in place of b
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=2x+-2

you can get rid of the + sign
y=2x-2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the plus is mandatory in the equation

oh didn't see that...yea just leave it in their :) you have it right :)
