Im doing functions now.. Chapter 8?

OpenStudy (junhaoz):

What's the question?

OpenStudy (tomatotsundere):

How do i calculate the coordinates with a initial value of 3 and rate of change of 1? I'm so confused..

OpenStudy (junhaoz):

Is there a specific question?

OpenStudy (tomatotsundere):

I'm not asking for a answer, more of a explanation on how to do it.

OpenStudy (junhaoz):

ok

OpenStudy (tomatotsundere):

Thank you for helping ;-;

OpenStudy (junhaoz):

So in slope intercept form, y=mx+b. B is the y intercept, so what you started with, which is 3. M is the slope, which is 1 because for every increment, you said you increase 1, and 1/1 is 1. So the equation is y=x+3 (1x=x) you would just plug in the x coordinate and solve and you will get the y coordinate

OpenStudy (junhaoz):

slope=rate of change

OpenStudy (tomatotsundere):

Wow... That's super simple, i made that allot harder in my head than it actually is. I'm sorry .

OpenStudy (junhaoz):

It's ok! :)
