Question

Write the equation of this line in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

That image is so small, anyway what is the point that lies in the y-axis?

Answer 2

XD Yeah sorry um, 5

Answer 3

Yes, so that is the y-intercept

Answer 4

Are you familiar with rise/run?

Answer 5

Uhh Not really I don't know how to do it or..use it

Answer 6

Y2-Y1 over X2-X1

Answer 7

^That works too but sometimes people find that complicated

Answer 8

\(\large \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

Answer 9

very o-o

Answer 10

It’s called fractions.

Answer 11

eeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Answer 12

silver, don't overestimate what people know, be nice

Answer 13

I am nice. I mean it’s like saying 4/5: 4 over 5

Answer 14

select 2 points (preferably next to each other)

Answer 15

errrrrrrrrr.............what

Answer 16

??

Answer 17

What do you mean next to eachother lol

Answer 18

Choose 2 points

Answer 19

those two

Answer 20

Okay

Answer 21

So start on the left point


How much does it have to go down to be in the same level as the other point?

Answer 22

4?

Answer 23

Right! So that is your "rise"

\(\large \frac{rise}{run}=\frac{-4}{??}\)

Answer 24

How much does it have to go to the right?

Answer 25

2?

Answer 26

Right, so we have
slope = \(\large \frac{rise}{run}=\frac{-4}{+2}=-\frac{4}{2}\)

Answer 27

Slope intercept form is written as
\(y=mx+b\)

m is the slope
b is the intercept

Can you substitute what we know now into the equation?

Answer 28

ahhhh

Answer 29

hrm... 5 is the y intercept correct?
OR iz there more than one

Answer 30

Yes, that was right

Answer 31

Lines only have 1 y-intercept

Answer 32

okie.... so 5=b...um....what would the slope equal from what we did?

Answer 33

Yes

Answer 34

would the slope equal um...the rise? I'm guessing

Answer 35

the slope is the fraction itself, the same thing

Answer 36

okay... y =-4/2 + 5

Answer 37

I'm like totally wrong though o-o

Answer 38

That's right, just remember to add the x
\(y=-\frac{4}{2}x+5\)

Answer 39

(Also note that 4/2 is 2)

Answer 40

-gasp- .... okay y = -4/2x + 5... or y = -2x +5
.. that's the answer? Or iz there more O.O Su exciting

Answer 41

\(y = -2x +5\)
Is the final simplified form xD

Answer 42

ohh XDD

Answer 43

Yeh

Answer 44

I can use either one of those?

Answer 45

Use
\(y = -2x +5\)

Answer 46

okie thankssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss much blessings and thankz ^^

Answer 47

Haha, no problem
