Okay, do you know how to graph an equation?
no thats why im here
Lol, okay, good point :) Let's start with the basics Step One; look for your x intercept. A standard linear equation follows the slope-intercept form of y = mx + b Where b is your y intercept. Your y intercept will be where the line crosses the y-axis. Can you find that for me?
Yes 1 sec
so it would be 3?
Yes :D Great job! No the second step would be to determine the slope of the equation. Slope is \[ \frac{ rise }{ run } \] rise is when it goes vertically, run is when it goes horizontally. How high does it rise before it hits another (x, y) coordinate?
i dont know!
how do i figure that out?
eeks, IDK how to explain it.. Do you mind if I tell you then explain it, or would you prefer to figure it out as we go?
Let me explain it.
Awesome, thanks!!
idc however is perfect!
@Jadeishere Great job so far! @adelyn_helps Read below: Find two points on the graph that are easy to read. That is, find two points on the line that are where the grid lines intersect. The y-intercept is (0, 3). That is an easy to read point. Now start at that point and start moving up to the right along the line. What is the next point that is easy to read? A point on a grid intersection?
where do i move up o tho?
Ok so far? |dw:1462741170908:dw|
