## ValentinaT Group Title "Has an x-intercept of 6 and a y-intercept of 3." Could someone write that equation in slope-intercept, point slope, or standard form? one year ago one year ago

1. jamesaa Group Title

y = 1/2x + 3

2. jamesaa Group Title

That's slope-intercept form

3. ValentinaT Group Title

Thank you so much! Could you show me how you got that?

4. jamesaa Group Title

sure slope-intercept form is y = mx + b m is the slope b is the y-intercept with the x intercept and the y intercept I got a slope of 1/2 then I just inserted it in and got y = 1/2x + 3 since there's a y-intercept of 3

5. jamesaa Group Title

do you want me to explain slope?

6. ValentinaT Group Title

Sure, I'm not sure how to get the slope.

7. jamesaa Group Title

ok the slope is change of y / change of x so the x-intercept is (6,0) and the y-intercept is (0,3) so 3-0/0-6 = 3/-6 = 1/-2

8. jamesaa Group Title

BTW change it to y = 1/-2x + 3 I forgot it in the original answer sorry

9. ValentinaT Group Title

$y = \frac{ 1 }{-2 }x + 3?$

10. jamesaa Group Title

yes

11. ValentinaT Group Title

Thank you!

No problem
