@pooja195 Can you help?
pooja195 (pooja195):
y=mx+b <--slope intercept form
pooja195 (pooja195):
slope=rise/run
any ideas on what the slope if?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
nope

good 2 is right how much are we going over?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
a third of the way?
pooja195 (pooja195):
No1 unit to the right
so 2/1=?

2
pooja195 (pooja195):
good so slope =2
now to find the y intercept....
Where is the line hitting on the y axis?

2?
pooja195 (pooja195):
Good now put it into an equation...
y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y intercept
OpenStudy (cheyennecoffelt):
so slope and y-intercept are the same? y=2x+2?
pooja195 (pooja195):
And you just gave the answer ,-,
OpenStudy (cheyennecoffelt):
but it isn't up there

It isn't A, B, C, or D
pooja195 (pooja195):
My bad :P
If y intercept is 2
there is only one answer that has +2 as the y intercept (i had the slope wrong)
