Question

The x-intercept and y-intercept of a linear function have a product of 8. What is the slope of the linear function?

Answer 1

well what are the factors of 8?

Answer 2

1 8 2 4

Answer 3

so?

Answer 4

?

Answer 5

which two are your answer?

Answer 6

ahhhhhh

Answer 7

i see

Answer 8

this question can have 4 different answers, depending on which factors you use and which one you use for y and x intercept

Answer 9

so i just use 2 different numbers from the factors to make a fraction which is the slope

Answer 10

as long as they factor into 8

Answer 11

not like, 8 and 4

Answer 12

can i do 2/4 or 1/2

Answer 13

You could have

x-intercept: 1
y-intercept: 8

x-intercept: 8
y-intercept: 1

x-intercept: 2
y-intercept: 4

x-intercept: 4
y-intercept: 2


in x intercepts, y is always 0
in y intercepts, x is always 0
so with whichever point of coordinate points you use, then use the slope formula to find the slope

Answer 14

What

Answer 15

slope is your rate of change

Answer 16

also

Answer 17

on the list I think they meant to say x and y, not x-intercept and y-intercept

Answer 18

so can i or can i not do 2/4

Answer 19

yes

Answer 20

send it

Answer 21

i meant x intercept and y intercept

Answer 22

okay

Answer 23

but if you go back and look you contradict yourself?

Answer 24

the question clearly says "the y intercept and x intercept of a linear function"

Answer 25

well

Answer 26

idk man

Answer 27

also, if it was only x and y, that would create only one coordinate point, which you would not have been able to find slope from

Answer 28

Idk i'm thinking ROC

Answer 29

it is rate of change, but you find the it with the x and y intercept...

Answer 30

for example if you used

x-intercept: 1
y-intercept: 8

the coordinates would be (1,0) and (0,8)
from there you could find the rate of change of the two coordinates, slope

Answer 31

hey if you say so

Answer 32

I don't mind being wrong

Answer 33

but 2/4 does work, no?

Answer 34

the numbers 2 and 4 work yes

Answer 35

also, best if you don't put your actually name and school in your bio

Answer 36

it's just my first name

Answer 37

nope

Answer 38

wrong bradford

Answer 39

it don't bother me
