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

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
