Answer 1

What is it on?

Answer 2

The equation below represents Function A and the graph represents Function B:

Answer 3

wrong one

Answer 4

okay

Answer 7

I look and found that the answer is A but I don't know why

Answer 8

i know the slope is 1 for part b

Answer 9

Do you know the concept of rise over run?

Answer 10

yes go up then over divide that and get your slope

Answer 11

Yeah, so they slope of function b is 3, how does that compare to 6?

Answer 12

*the

Answer 13

Right. So for the first equation, in any equation that is formatted y=mx+b , then m is always going to be the slope. So if the slope for the first equation is not 1, what is it?

Answer 14

In other words, what is m?

Answer 15

? how is it 3 you go up 1 and aver 1

Answer 16

You go over 1 and up 3

Answer 17

The first equation doesn't give you a graph so you have to determine the slope based off of the equation alone

Answer 18

One of the points is (-1,-2), another is (1,4)
y2-y1/x2-x1 is the slope, so:
(4)-(-2)/1-(-1) is the slope
6/2 = 3 = m

Answer 19

? you do rise over run not run over rise and how is it up 3

Answer 20

Rise/Run = 3/1

Answer 21

You rise 3 and go over 1.
The equation for the graph is y=3x+1

Answer 22

^

Answer 23

I don't get what you are saying but ok

Answer 24

So because the slope for the second equation is 3, and because the slope for the first equation is 6, the slope for graph A would be twice that of Graph B -> Hence the reason the answer would be A.

Answer 25

What do you not understand?

Answer 26

how you got the slope

Answer 27

Okay, look at the graph, and find point (-2,-5). Found it?

Answer 28

ok

Answer 29

Now move to (-1,-2).
How far do you move right? How far do you move up?

Answer 30

^ Exactly

Answer 31

i see what you did you pick 2 points subtracted them to get your slope

Answer 32

Sort of, but it doesn't have to be that complicated. You just have to pick two points that the line intersects, and then count how many you have to move over to get directly beneath the second point, and that is the run, and then how many you have to move up to get to the point, and that's the rise. Then you just divide the rise by the run, and that's your slope.

Answer 33

There's also a formula for it, where you can use two given points, which @Aveline pointed out earlier: y2-y1/x2-x1
The / stands for division, just to be clear.

Answer 34

i see that now thank you all for you help

Answer 35

No problem (:

Answer 36

Kudos to you @kelsey.benton00 and @Aveline for making this simple enough to understand. Great job !

Answer 37

@math&ing001 Thanks, appreciate that (:
