Use the formula, Nicole \(\sf\Large Slope = \frac{\color{blue}{y_2}-\color{red}{y_1}}{\color{green}{x_2}-\color{purple}{x_1}}\) Where the two points are in the form: \(\sf\Large (\color{purple}{x_1},\color{red}{y_1})~and~(\color{green}{x_2},\color{blue}{y_2})\)
How can I determine those?
Do you know how to determine a point from a graph? The x-coordinate and the y-coordinate?
Yes
(-2, 5)
Good! Now find another point
(-1,2)
(0,-1)
(1,-4)
those are all the point correct?
@TheSmartOne
Yes! Good We only need two points to find the slope As a review, a line is made up of multiple points right? But the minimum number of points we need to make a line is 2. If we have two dots, we can draw a line through it So let's choose 2 of the points (-2. 5) and (0, -1) We have to plug it in to the formula we could also do rise/run formula if you prefer that or the formula that I posted earlier
so (-2,0) and (5,-1)
thats how the formula would be^
Well now Our points are (-2, 5) and (0, -1) Points are written in the (x, y) form so (-2, 5) -2 is x 5 is y (0, -1) since we have x and y again but we don't want to confuse the coordinates, we just add a little number to say that this is an x-coordinate but for another point so like \( x_1\) = 0 and \( y_1 = -1\)
and then you have to do (y1 - y)/(x1- x) = slope
so (-1-5) / (0-(-2)
yes, now simplify it
-3
so A
Correct!
Find the slope like we just did They want the equation of the line in the form of y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. Essentially it's (0, y)
so first do the exact same thing we did before?
Yes! Find two points and then find the slope
(0,1) (1,1) (0,-2) (2,4)
We only need 2
so (0,-2)(2,4)
Now subtract the y-intercepts and the x-intercepts and find the slope
(0-2) / (-2-4)
which is 1/3
so the slope is 1/3
that'x x-coordinates over y-coordinate it has to be y-coordinate over x-coordinate change in y/ change in x \(\Delta y\)/ \(\Delta \)x
so like (-2-4) / (0-2)
Exactly!
So the slope is 3
so y=3x-2 ? which is C?
yes!!
Yes!
What grade are you in Nicole
Or are you doing your little cousin's hw like John does all the time lool
This is Algebra 2. No lmao I have to finish this course for high school because I need to fill in all the requirements. And I didnt do Algebra 2. And since im doing homeschool so
Im doing it rn
Ahh makes sense, this is actually more Algebra 1 so good luck!
Its actually an Algebra 2 course Dragon Ball
"dragon ball" lmao*
I actually googled it because I was like wot
Yup!
uh-oh
What lol?
compulsory try again
Well its obvious that its true now loll
