itsmehjay:

Alright so you know what parallel means right?

TETSXPREME:

Like a parking lot?

itsmehjay:

Yes

itsmehjay:

Parking lots are parallel

itsmehjay:

Anyways we need to find a line thats parallel to the one already on the graph

itsmehjay:

Its easy since they already give you the equation now all you need to do is graph. But you'll need graphing paper for that

itsmehjay:

Do u have some?

TETSXPREME:

no its 2 expensive

itsmehjay:

Lma- ok just copy the one alrady their on paper

itsmehjay:

So in order to graph an equation in slooe intercept form, you first graph the y intercept then your slope

itsmehjay:

Slope intercept form: y=mx+b M = slope B= y intercept

itsmehjay:

So for # 1 which is your y intercept?

itsmehjay:

Or A.

TETSXPREME:

What?

itsmehjay:

For A. which is your y intercept? Look at the equation

itsmehjay:

Scroll up and you'll see how to find it

TETSXPREME:

where do i look up?

TETSXPREME:

or scroll?

itsmehjay:

I literally said it already here ill put it again Slope intercept form: y=mx+b M = slope B= y intercept

TETSXPREME:

how do i find slope?

itsmehjay:

The slope is your m and already their for you but you need to learn how to plot it first

itsmehjay:

Which is why im asking you if you know how to find the y intercept

TETSXPREME:

no i do not

If you assume the bucket was empty at first, then you could use (0,0) as the first coordinate point, then they give you the second coordinate point by saying after 10 seconds, the bucket weighed 35 ounces. Time is the x axis, and weight is the y axis. So the second coordinate would be (10, 35). Then you'd use this: \[m = \frac{ y_{2} - y_{1} }{ x_{2} - x_{1} }\] Input the coordinates in to calculate the slop of the first line. But technically you could just do 35/10. Simplify and that's your slope. Then all you need to do is input the slope, using the coordinates they give you, in order to find a line parallel to the first line which passes through those coordinates. Point-Slope Form \[y - y_{1} = m(x - x_{1})\]

i don't get it

axie:

do it again

Shadow:

Wait nvm it out lol. If you look at the graph, the first coordinate is (0, 15). So then when you compare that to the second coordinate of (10,35), you get a slope that makes more sense.

Shadow:

I'm just blind.

TETSXPREME:

B?

TETSXPREME:

i honnestly dk

TETSXPREME:

i have no idea how to do this

Shadow:

The logic that you're following is that you want a line that is parallel to the first line, that passes through that points. So you want to calculate the slope of the first line.

Shadow:

A parallel line is one that has the same slope

Shadow:

Does that make sense?

TETSXPREME:

yea

TETSXPREME:

B?

Shadow:

That's correct, but I hope you understand how to get there. It's really as simple as doing 35 - 15 10 - 0 20/10 = 2 That's your slope. Then you do y - 35 = 2(x - 3) This simplifies to y = 2x + 29

axie:

Ayyeee

axie:

my math matches unkle kuzma's so we're good

TETSXPREME:

oh
