Can someone answer these questions for me?

dude:

I can't answer them for you, but I can help you get to the answer

ILoveXXXTENTACION:

ILoveXXXTENTACION:

I meant that

dude:

So the general equation of a line is \(y=mx+b\) m is the slope b is the y-intercept So for question 11, we have -3 as a slope and -5 as our y-intercept Do you know how to substitute that?

ILoveXXXTENTACION:

no i do not

dude:

m is slope, so m is -3 b is the y-intercept, so b is -5 \(y=-3x-5\) Does that make sense?

ILoveXXXTENTACION:

yea, that makes sence

ILoveXXXTENTACION:

what about the other ones?

ILoveXXXTENTACION:

12 through 16

dude:

Just try #12 Maybe it will make sense if you try it

ILoveXXXTENTACION:

ok, ill try

dude:

Try it, if you cannot still understand it, then I'll walk you through

ILoveXXXTENTACION:

ok, thx

ILoveXXXTENTACION:

so, i think that #12 is y=0x-5?

dude:

Right! So anytime any value is 0, we just take it out \(y=-5\) is fine as well (we only removed the 0x since it does not mean anything)

ILoveXXXTENTACION:

ok, I think i understand it

dude:

Nice :P If you want me to check your work, I'll be here

ILoveXXXTENTACION:

so what would #11 be since it has a fraction

dude:

#13 you mean?

ILoveXXXTENTACION:

oh, yea

dude:

Pretend its a whole number, it follows the same rule of going in-front of the x

ILoveXXXTENTACION:

umm...... i dont understand.......sorry

dude:

Pretend its a whole number Slope is \(-\frac13\) = m y-intercept is \(5\) = b \(y=-\frac13x+5\) Nothing to simplify, that's all

ILoveXXXTENTACION:

no

dude:

Wut

ILoveXXXTENTACION:

nvrm

ILoveXXXTENTACION:

im still stuck on #13

dude:

Okay, does the fraction confuse you?

ILoveXXXTENTACION:

yea

dude:

Okay so think as the fraction as any normal number You don't have to change it in any way You just place it directly in for m

ILoveXXXTENTACION:

ok

dude:

Did that make sense? Or do you want me to make a sample question?

ILoveXXXTENTACION:

yea, a sample questionj might work

ILoveXXXTENTACION:

well..... sorry i have to go to bed

dude:

Okay, get some rest Night
