you have to write equations for the two line segments. Start with the one from -3 to 0. Can you tell the slope and y-intercept of that part?

Im sorry but i still don't understand. Its been almost a year since i've done this stuff.

anonymous · Answer

look at the segment that goes from (-3, -6) to (0, 0). You need to write the equation for that segment in $y=mx+b$ form where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The slope is rise/run. Basically divide the amount the line goes up by the amount it goes across.

y-intercept is where it crosses the y-axis

Oh. Okay. I kinda understand now. Thank you. I just needed to get started.

Want to share your results?  What is the slope of that line segment?  What would the y-intercept be?
