OpenStudy (will.h):

what do you know about the negative and positive slopes

OpenStudy (will.h):

In your graph is the slope positive or negative

OpenStudy (thehollywoodstud):

positive?

OpenStudy (will.h):

Correct. Because it is going upward

OpenStudy (will.h):

So Y = mx + b M is the slope That means m should be positive So what options can be eliminate

OpenStudy (ajspeller):

y=mx + b m is the slope b is the y-intercept positive slope increases as you move to the right negative slope decreases as you move to the right Based on the definitions and info above you should be able to answer the questions below. Where does that line intercept the y axis ? Is the slope of the line positive or negative?

OpenStudy (thehollywoodstud):

a and d

OpenStudy (will.h):

Correct. Now what is the y intercept? The y intercept is the point of when x = 0 That means (0,?) So what's the y intercept

OpenStudy (thehollywoodstud):

4

OpenStudy (thehollywoodstud):

y=x+4 ?

OpenStudy (will.h):

Fascinating So y = mx + b We already said m is the slope amd b is the y intercept M is positive and y intercept is 4 So y = x + 4 Makes sense?

OpenStudy (thehollywoodstud):

yes. so was i correct saying the answer was b?

OpenStudy (will.h):

Obviously

OpenStudy (thehollywoodstud):

Thanks

OpenStudy (will.h):

You welcome
