Question

ok ok ok real math question i need help with

Answer 1

Hey there! So do you know the slope-intercept form of an equation?

y = mx + b
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept

the y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis (basically when x=0)

Answer 2

So let's start with the y-intercept

where does the line cross the y-axis
what is the y-value when x is 0

Answer 3

i do know that part i have it written on my paper : /

Answer 4

okay, so can you tell me what the y-intercept it? Here's an EXAMPLE

Answer 5

2?

Answer 6

I said that was an EXAMPLE

Answer 7

Take a look at your question

Answer 8

i thought u meant what was it on ur example smh srry
im dumb

Answer 9

No no worries, so what is it in your question? What's the y-value when it crosses the y-axis

Answer 10

ermmm idk tbh ik that it tells me that x is -1 and y is positive 2 ...

Answer 11

yes but look at where it crosses the y-axis

What is the y-value there? I circled it for you
That's where it's crossing the y-axis

Answer 12

-1

Answer 13

There you go!! So that's our y-intercept

so now we had

y = mx + b

and now we can replace b with the -1 so

y = mx - 1

now we need to find `m` which is our slope

Answer 14

I'll throw in colors for you

\(\Large\text{Slope} = \dfrac{\color{green}{y_2} - \color{orange}{y_1}}{\color{aqua}{x_2}-\color{red}{x_1}}\)

where you have two points
\(\Large (\color{red}{x_1}, \color{orange}{y_1})\) and \(\Large (\color{aqua}{x_2}, \color{green}{y_2})\)

So you're two points are

\((\color{red}{-1}, \color{orange}{2})\) and \((\color{aqua}{1}, \color{green}{-4})\)

Answer 15

Can you find the slope?

Answer 16

sorry i got busy with something. i think i can if u can give me a min

Answer 17

Sure! I'll be here!

Answer 18

thank u !

Answer 19

HEY THAT'S CHEATING

Answer 22

our teachers make us user calculators
so much it lowkey ruined us students smh

Answer 23

wait, how do you use a calculator to solve this

Answer 24

smh smh but you DO know how to plug it into the formula right?

Answer 25

yea i do

Answer 26

they probably used like a slope calculator so they put in the two points and it did the work for them

Answer 27

oh LMAO

Answer 28

big brain

Answer 29

never knew there was such thing as a 'slope calculator'

Answer 30

theres a calculator for anything and everything

Answer 31

Hey! I'm not going to complain because so many kids don't even realize how much they can get away with since there's calculators out there to do stuff

Answer 32

EXACTLY
but make sure you know how to do it yourself
The calculators are there to help you save time

Answer 33

So what is your slope?

Answer 34

:/ our teachers take away our calculators before tests

Answer 35

: / u sound like a made 40 yr old man

Answer 36

cygfvuoihj

Answer 37

mad*

Answer 38

this isn't an actual calculator Snowflake, it's like online calculators

Answer 39

ikkkkk

Answer 40

but we do paper tests

Answer 41

Aw shucks, you're on to me but let's finish your question quickly!

Answer 42

wait no cap?? p-p

Answer 43

So we had

y = mx - 1

What is the slope? What does your handy little calculator say

we just replace `m` with that number

Answer 44

y=-3x-1 ;-;

Answer 45
