Could sum one please help me with this?

CourtneyWatson:

mxddi3:

ok so remember y=mx+b m=slope and b=y-intercept now for the first one y=3x, what is our slope (m) ?

CourtneyWatson:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @mxddi3 ok so remember y=mx+b m=slope and b=y-intercept now for the first one y=3x, what is our slope (m) ? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) oh ok um idk

mxddi3:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @mxddi3 so y=mx+b here what is in place of the m? what is written instead of m? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

mxddi3:

oh and also, since it just says y=3x and nothing else, this means our y-intercept (b) is going to be 0

CourtneyWatson:

mxddi3:

the first one on the left side: y=3x

CourtneyWatson:

ok

mxddi3:

ok well I don't wanna take forever here, but pretty much whatever number comes before the x is gonna be your m and the number after that is your b. for example: y=6x-5 (m=6, b=-5) y=2 (m=0, b=2) y=9x (m=9, b=0) lmk if you need any more help

jimthompson5910:

It might help to think of y=3x as y=3x+0 And something like y = 2 is the same as y = 0+2 and that turns into y = 0x+2

CourtneyWatson:

ok so 1.y=3x 2.y=-3x+4 3.y=1.5x-7 4.y=7 5.y=-1.5x-4 1.m=3,b=0 2.m=-3,b=4 3.m=1.5,b=7 4.m=0,b=7 5.m=-1.5,b-4

mxddi3:

perfect! Great job

CourtneyWatson:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @mxddi3 perfect! Great job \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Thank you

mxddi3:

just for 3, make sure it's a -7
