OpenStudy (3mar):

May I help?

OpenStudy (3mar):

@JamalJunior

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

Of course @3mar

OpenStudy (3mar):

Thank you.

OpenStudy (3mar):

What did you get?

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

nothing yet, idk where to start

OpenStudy (3mar):

One minute please

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

okay

OpenStudy (3mar):

Can you calculate the slope?

OpenStudy (3mar):

next we will discuss what its meaning!

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

mx + b?

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

is it 2.5

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

up 2 over 1?

OpenStudy (3mar):

only m is the slope. Do you have the equation or just the graph?

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

just the graph

OpenStudy (3mar):

ok now you ought to find two points and cal. the slope

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

what two points?

OpenStudy (3mar):

any two points on the kine

OpenStudy (3mar):

line*

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

ok 3 and .5 but how do i calculate the slope?

OpenStudy (3mar):

what are the points you got?

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

3 and .5

OpenStudy (3mar):

the point looks like that (x,y) nit just two values

OpenStudy (3mar):

not*

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

3y and .5x?

OpenStudy (3mar):

you mean (0,3)?

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

i guess

OpenStudy (3mar):

and the second?

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

im talking about this on the x axis https://gyazo.com/cb60164768b4d4a2426490f54a2afbc4

OpenStudy (3mar):

The more accurate one is (2,8) am I right?

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

yeah

OpenStudy (3mar):

good can you now find out the slope?

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

idk how

OpenStudy (3mar):

Try this Hope that helps

OpenStudy (3mar):

Did you get it?

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

no

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

y8- y1 ----- x2 - x1

OpenStudy (3mar):

plug in the two points in this form of the slope \[m=\frac{(y_2-y_1)}{(x_2-x_1)}\]

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

m = (y8 - y1) -------- (x2 - x1)

OpenStudy (3mar):

it will be \[m=\frac{8-3}{2-0}\]

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

where did u get 3 and 0 from ?

OpenStudy (3mar):

Don't we have two points (0,3) and (2,8)? from the graph

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

oh

OpenStudy (3mar):

so you got it now

OpenStudy (3mar):

ok?

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

yes.

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

so its 2.5? 5 / 2

OpenStudy (3mar):

Great! it is 2.5

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

what does the slope represent?

OpenStudy (3mar):

so you will choose 2.5 from the drop-down menu.

OpenStudy (3mar):

What did you pick?

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

i havent picked anything

OpenStudy (3mar):

so what do you think the output from the division of "cost of taxi" by distance traveled?

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

is it the cost per mile traveled?

OpenStudy (3mar):

It is of course!

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

great. can we do the next one?

OpenStudy (3mar):

I am with you

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

how do we start this one?

OpenStudy (3mar):

the 3rd one?

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

yes

OpenStudy (3mar):

He wants where the line cut/touch/intercept to the y-axis!

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

how do get it

OpenStudy (3mar):

read it directly from the y-axis

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

3
