help

OpenStudy (kimberlyevens):

with?

OpenStudy (narissa):

OpenStudy (3mar):

Well, I am here.

OpenStudy (narissa):

k

OpenStudy (3mar):

put x=0 y=??

OpenStudy (narissa):

4

OpenStudy (tgstudios):

first, plot the y-intercept

OpenStudy (3mar):

Great!

OpenStudy (tgstudios):

ill let you get this @3mar, i already did on with @narissa, it didnt end well, you got this 3mar

OpenStudy (3mar):

Let y=2 x=??

OpenStudy (narissa):

x=0 y=4 can u show me what it looks like

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

remember, if the x coordinate is 0 , the point is located on the y axis. Hence why it is called the y intercept

https://www.desmos.com/calculator/usli1tucou Take that site. It is cool and interesting!

OpenStudy (narissa):

1 point is on 0 the other is on 4 and what?

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

no, one point is on the coordinate (0,4). Then, you use the slope

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

So if our slope is -0.25x, we can turn that into a fraction so we can have a better time working with it

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

@narissa what is -0.25x as a fraction?

OpenStudy (narissa):

idk

OpenStudy (narissa):

Is this correct?

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

that is correct

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

you sure you understand this?

OpenStudy (narissa):

a little mostly

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

for a slope of -0.25x, you want to go down 1 and right 4 for every point

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

that is why the slope is not super steep, it's only slightly negative

OpenStudy (narissa):

k

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

oh right. The slope and passage of the first point is correct, just be sure to plot the other point as well @narissa

OpenStudy (narissa):

16

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

16?

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

To be honest, I'm sure you can get away with just plotting the y intercept and another point

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

you should be good with what you have :)

OpenStudy (narissa):

well im confused please dra it out

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

the way you had it drawn out originally was correct

OpenStudy (3mar):

|dw:1477425114298:dw| do you mean like that?

OpenStudy (narissa):

yes thanks

OpenStudy (3mar):

That's it?
