math help pls

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

the y intercept is 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=3

OpenStudy (triciaal):

(-2, -2) fits on the line what is the slope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because x= rise over run which is going to be 3/1 which simplifies down to just 3. saying that x=3

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

im not looking for x? im looking for y=mx+b

OpenStudy (triciaal):

@phebzluvsyu not x = 3 slope m = 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well yeah. thats what we did slope =3 but they didnt ask for what they wanted in the first place...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=mx+b m= slope b= y intercept

OpenStudy (triciaal):

yes the equation of the line y = mx + b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you try to get x by itself

OpenStudy (triciaal):

@isuckatschool43 any questions?

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

so my two points are (-2,-2) and (-1,1)

OpenStudy (triciaal):

to find the slope of a line you can use any 2 points on that line

OpenStudy (triciaal):

the slope is the change in y divided by the corresponding change in x corresponding because the direction matters

OpenStudy (isuckatschool43):

y=3x+4?
