Need to find slope intercept!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Slope=-3, y-intercept=-1 Slope=3, y-intercept=0

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

graph it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok give me a sec.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, I got no idea how to do it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@phi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be y= -3x--1?

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

\[y=mx+b\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the m= slope and the b=y-intercept

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

\[y=-3x+(-1)\] or \[y=-3x-1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok, I was close!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so thats the slope intercept?

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

no; now you need to graph them both and see were the touch each other

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok, let me try it again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so I graphed it and I got (0.167, 0.5) is this correct??

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

you should have gotten this

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay thank you!
