## anonymous one year ago graph y=6x-3

Do you know the slope and y-intercept of the equation?

2. anonymous

nope

3. anonymous

|dw:1441861628631:dw|

4. anonymous

so the slope would be -6/1 and the y-intercept would be -3?

5. anonymous

The y-intercept is -3. Correct! The slope is basically the number before $$x$$. Is that -6?

6. anonymous

yes

7. anonymous

Wrong.

$$\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}$$ @ludvic y=6x-3 $$\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}$$ Is the slope -6? Is the number before $$x$$, -6?

9. anonymous

its 1

10. anonymous

Do you know where $$x$$ is?

11. anonymous

yes

12. anonymous

Where is it? What's number before x?

13. anonymous

-6

14. anonymous

Where did you get -6?

16. anonymous

The problem already came like that in the book

17. anonymous

What is the equation again?

19. anonymous

I'm sorry I saw it wrong

$$\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}$$ @ludvic The problem already came like that in the book $$\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}$$ I never say your problem was wrong. I said the slope you told me is wrong.

21. anonymous

Okay. That's correct! So the slope is 6/1 or 6. Meaning you "rise" 6 times then "run" 1 time.

22. anonymous

thank you

23. anonymous

Since the y-intercept is -3, then plot (0, -3). |dw:1441862193136:dw|

24. anonymous

Can you use the "Reply using Drawing" button to show me where (0, -3) is? :)

25. anonymous

lol she thinks she's done with the problem... oh well

26. anonymous

:'(

27. anonymous

It is rise OVER run. :D

28. anonymous

|dw:1441863363747:dw| Don't pay attention to this ^

29. anonymous

let me try again

30. anonymous

oops sorz 0_0. I'm pretty sure she left already though.

31. anonymous

yup and when she logs in, she'll know the answer easily :(

32. anonymous

I just sign up for the website and someone helped me with a problem so I wanted to help someone else on here, because it took like an hour.

33. anonymous

When you're giving out direct answers, that's not helping. Besides, it's against the code of conduct of openstudy.

34. anonymous

ok thanks for telling me :D

35. anonymous

I did thank you. I just wanna help someone that I can but i'm not the best in math. I just started Alg 2 0_o. But I guess it's better to not answer at all unless I know exactly how to do it. I don't want to teach someone the wrong way.
