What is the equation for AD? http://i.imgur.com/biYGR5o.png A) y=-x+6 B) y=x+6 C) y=-x-6 D) y=x-6

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

given the y intercept you can cross out 2 answer choices immediately

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C and D?

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

yep those are the ones you would cancel out

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

now you could explicitly solve for the slope, but what do you notice about the line? is it decreasing or increasing?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Increasing

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

yep good job so you can cancel out answer choice a. because the slope is negative.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Awesome, got another one. It's exactly the same.

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

alright lets see it

Equation for CE? http://i.imgur.com/KX4COre.png A) y=x-1 B) y=4/5x+1 C) x+y=1 D) y=4/5(x+1)

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

well first off we can cancel out choice c) as it has a negative slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and A?

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

Next we notice that for equation CE that the y-intercept is 1. So we can cancel out A. and D.

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

yep

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

We can cancel out D because the y-intercept turns out to be 4/5

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

so now your left with one answer choice

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is B

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

yep good job

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sweet thanks!

OpenStudy (sweetburger):
