I need to get this done so I don't get behind medal +fan

iYuko (iyuko):

Well for the first one. What is slope intercept form?

iYuko (iyuko):

@thatcluelessgirl

iYuko (iyuko):

It's y=mx+b , where b is the y-intercept and m is the slope.

iYuko (iyuko):

To find the slope you do \[\frac{ Rise }{ Run }\]

OpenStudy (thatcluelessgirl):

y=1/3-2

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

Slope.... Rise over run. you have 2/(-6) as your slope be cause from (-2,0) to (0,-6) you rise (go up or down) 2 and you run (go left or right) (-6) making your slope 1/(-3) *i simplified it b= your y intercept. because your y int was (-2,0) your b = -2 so the equation is y=1/(-3) x -2

ill be back and tag yall when I'm home idk why I posted this when I knew I had to leave so soon

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @RhondaSommer Slope.... Rise over run. you have 2/(-6) as your slope be cause from (-2,0) to (0,-6) you rise (go up or down) 2 and you run (go left or right) (-6) making your slope 1/(-3) *i simplified it b= your y intercept. because your y int was (-2,0) your b = -2 so the equation is y=1/(-3) x -2 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) "y=1/(-3) x -2" Is incorrect. The line is a negative slope making the equation Y=-1/3x-2

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

dood did you not see the (-3)? that makes my answer correct.

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

\[\frac{1}{-3}\] it would look like that

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

so ackchually. I was not wrong my friend. :)

iYuko (iyuko):

\[-\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\] Is the correct slope.

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

ok but \[\frac{1}{-3}\] works just as well it means the same thing. Its not as neat and cleaned up, but its the same thing. if you have one negative in a fractin, it means that the fraction is negative.

iYuko (iyuko):

Right, but it is improper. She would get marked down for it.

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

i promise you. both of our ansers are correct. because they mean the same thing. No its not. Ive done plenty of tests were i mark it down. By saying its not cleaned up, i mean it doesnt look nice. See, this is why I left OS in the first place. You can be saying the exact same thing as someone else and be treated like crap for not writing it the same way. Im so glad this place is shutting down.

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

by (i mark it down) i mean write it in the way I showed you.

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

@iYuko

OpenStudy (vuriffy):

-1/3 -(1/3) 1/-3 Are all acceptable choices.

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

^ Thank you.

OpenStudy (thatcluelessgirl):

@.Sam. you there?

OpenStudy (jerry45):

nah
