Answer 1

You are going to need to use the slope formula to start. Do you know this?

Answer 2

Yes

Answer 3

Just a bit rusty,

Answer 4

Cool. do this for the points, and you get your slop.
m=y2-y1/x2-x1
y and x are the points, respectively.

Answer 5

So, the next thing you do after that is figure out the y - intercept.

Answer 6

The slope would be 2, correct?

Answer 7

This is made easy because there is a point with x as zero. The y coordinate the you find next to it is the y intercept.
Let me see...

Answer 8

This is for the second line, the y intercept. I'm checking your slope. Which line?

Answer 9

Oh, I was doing it for line 1.

Answer 10

Ok.

Answer 11

Very close. It would be 1/2.

Answer 12

Oh

Answer 13

(6-4)/2-(-2)
=2/4
=1/2

Answer 14

Then, we dot he same for the other line.
m1=1/2
m2=?
? = you tell me. If incorrect, I will explain. If not, sweet!

Answer 15

let me see

Answer 16

Is it 3?

Answer 17

Oh, you left.

Answer 19

can someone help me

Answer 20

Nope

Answer 21

I'm here now

Answer 22

im in 6th grade

Answer 23

Oh! Sorry, didn't mean no to you. You can ask a question at the top left of the screen

Answer 24

Mathmagician, make a new question with what you need help with.

Answer 25

I mean emon

Answer 26

Yes, it's 3

Answer 27

ok

Answer 28

Great Job!

Answer 29

7. Maria wants to cover the box shown below with paper. Which of the following could be the
dimensions of the paper so that Maria has enough to cover the box, including the ends, with a
little left. Here is the pic: http://prntscr.com/aox238

Answer 32

What is the next step, mathmagician, or is that it, :|

Answer 33

Hmm. I'll brb

Answer 34

Gotcha

Answer 35

@Emonilikespie Make a new question, you're in an 8th grade question currently.

Answer 36

Alright im back.

Answer 37

Let's see

Answer 38

You have the y - intercept for line two

Answer 39

8th grade?

Answer 40

that was the question that was hard

Answer 41

it's 4. So the equation for line 2 is
y = 3x + 4

Answer 42

Where did the 3 come from? Sorry, haha.

Answer 43

Then, find the y intercept for line 1 by putting in 0 for x at this point

Answer 44

Is the y intercept 2?

Answer 45

No! Actually, plug in th values for y and x into the equation we already have,
y = 1/2x + b
and use algebra to find your answer.

Answer 46

Sorry!

Answer 47

is the question to hard

Answer 48

Emon. Why are you in here? I though you were in 6th grade

Answer 49

yea i am

Answer 50

It's an 8th grade question, and it's pretty much done

Answer 51

So Rev. You got the answer for the y - intercept?

Answer 52

do u know anyone who could help

Answer 53

Yes! I will. Go make a question and I will help. I will not do it out of another thread, though.

Answer 54

ok on the ask a question slot thing

Answer 55

Top left where it says "ask a question..."

Answer 56

ok

Answer 57

Cool.

Answer 58

Help finish, mathmagician went offline.

Answer 59

Still a bit confused lol.
