The instructor’s friend also plans to rent an apartment in the same complex. Use the graph to identify the y-intercept and the slope used to write the equation in slope intercept form. y-intercept = Slope = Linear equation =

TheSmartOne:

The y-intercept is where it crosses the y-axis It's when x=0 Don't forget the equation y = mx + b where m is the slope b is the y-intercept

leila123456:

ok but like I don't get how to solve it on the graph

TheSmartOne:

What is the y value when x = 0?

leila123456:

like is it 3000

TheSmartOne:

Yes Now do you know the slope formula?

leila123456:

um yes

leila123456:

So I solve only for the y value

TheSmartOne:

how would you do that? does that give you the slope? what's the slope formula? what's the slope?

leila123456:

Ah so confusing

TheSmartOne:

Can you give me two points on the line? Slope = \(\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\)

leila123456:

0-2

leila123456:

3000-2450

TheSmartOne:

Points should be in the form of (x,y) And the x values are in the denominator (the bottom part of the fraction)

TheSmartOne:

Okay so yeah, you got two points but just the x and y values flipped so now (3000-2450) / (0-2) Can you simplify the fractions? First do the subtractions inside the parenthesis

leila123456:

ok

leila123456:

550/-2

TheSmartOne:

Now divide it...

leila123456:

-275

TheSmartOne:

Yes so that's the slope And we already got the y-intercept To make our equation y = mx + b Plug in the slope and y-intercept now

leila123456:

ok

leila123456:

is it going to be y=-275x+3000

TheSmartOne:

Bingo

leila123456:

Thank you

TheSmartOne:

No problem

QuestionCoveBot:

We didn't explode TSO.

QuestionCoveBot:

TSO, the equation is right because 550/-2 is -275. You did 500/-2 which is -225.

leila123456:

oh

leila123456:

So I got it wrong and the right

TheSmartOne:

oh wait you're right, it's too early I didn't see that 5 lool

leila123456:

ok

QuestionCoveBot:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @TheSmartOne Bingo \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) You should have noticed it TSO from the start.

leila123456:

Got a 100

leila123456:

I feel so slow

QuestionCoveBot:

It's fine. Many are slow.

leila123456:

ok
