@Vocaloid

Vocaloid:

yikes unfortunately you just have to plug every set of x and y coordinates in, one at a time, to see which answer choice gives two equal sides

Nicole:

where do I plug it in

Vocaloid:

so like, (-4,1) means x = -4 and y = 1 so y + (1/4) = -4(x+1) becomes 1 + (1/4) = -4(-4+1) then you'd just see if these two sides are equal (it's not) so we'd test choice B

Nicole:

got it http://prntscr.com/ktr8lf

Vocaloid:

what did you get for the previous choice?

Nicole:

im working on it rn

Nicole:

not b either

Vocaloid:

good, keep going

Nicole:

I think its c

Vocaloid:

so if you plug y + 1/4 = -4(x+1) you get y + 1/4 = -4(3+1) y = -4(4) - 1/4 which is -16 - 1/4 choice D

Vocaloid:

anyway let's go to q2 -Ax - By = C (plugging in all the signs) we can add By to both sides to get and subtract C from both sides By = -Ax + C so with that being said what might the best choices be?

Nicole:

B?

Nicole:

i know its negative but is it x or y?

Vocaloid:

wait

Nicole:

oh so its A and C

Vocaloid:

yeah I botched up the calculations whoops -Ax - By = C should end up being By = -Ax - C

Nicole:

so B and D?

Vocaloid:

|dw:1536797984090:dw|

Vocaloid:

yup

Vocaloid:

so since we have the formula y - y1 = m(x-x1) and our problem is y - 2 = 3(x-1) the graph crosses (1,2) and has slope 3 any ideas which graph is best?

Nicole:

C

Vocaloid:

awesome

Vocaloid:

y = 4x - 2 means slope 4 and intercept -2, right? so which graph might match?

Nicole:

B? not quite positive

Vocaloid:

good attempt but a positive slope means we should be going up from left to right

Nicole:

you mean right to left?

Nicole:

because B is left to right

Vocaloid:

|dw:1536798569825:dw| is this choice B?

Nicole:

yes

Vocaloid:

so this one has a negative slope (it's going down as you go from L to R) so it can't be this one

Vocaloid:

|dw:1536798661278:dw|

Vocaloid:

so we'd want a graph that goes up

Nicole:

A or C not sure which one tho

Vocaloid:

remember we want the one that has y-intercept -2

Nicole:

A

Vocaloid:

perfect

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/ktrgst

Vocaloid:

so any ideas? as the grade increases to 12 do the weights tend to go up or down?

Nicole:

The weight increases, A

Vocaloid:

look carefully, B is the one that says weight increases :P

Nicole:

sorry my bad I meant B

Vocaloid:

awesome

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/ktrhd4

Nicole:

D?

Vocaloid:

good but there's one more negative slope means one variable goes up, the other goes down so B+D

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/ktrhzc

Vocaloid:

any ideas? if you drew an imaginary line through the points would the slope be + or -?

Nicole:

positive

Nicole:

A

Vocaloid:

good

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/ktrifg

Vocaloid:

well S is the score which is the dependent variable so the equation should look something like S = ____H + _____ if you tried drawing an imaginary line through the points do you think the equation would look more like A or B?

Nicole:

A

Vocaloid:

awesome so A = your solution

Nicole:

last one: http://prntscr.com/ktrj5u

Vocaloid:

so you have 5x + 2y = 20 try solving for y

Nicole:

C

Nicole:

or D

Vocaloid:

yeah D

Vocaloid:
