@Nnesha

3. Saurabh135

y=x slope = 1

4. Taylor0402

i made sure to post the right picture this time

5. Taylor0402

but there are 2 number how could it be 1

6. Nnesha

same concept slope equal rise over run you have to be careful |dw:1444310772165:dw|

7. Saurabh135

see y=x dy/dx = 1

8. Taylor0402

ok i can see why because there is more tat one rise over run

9. Nnesha

|dw:1444310785355:dw| you should stop at red dot where line intersect the corner of box :P

10. Taylor0402

and i know the numbers will be positive because it is going from the 3rd quadrent to the first quadrent

11. Nnesha

|dw:1444310872387:dw| thos are the box when you count run unit you should stop where line intersect the corner of th box

12. Taylor0402

ok ok

13. Nnesha

|dw:1444310971006:dw|

14. Nnesha

so count how many unit go up and then right ?

15. Taylor0402

6 units up 5 units right

16. Nnesha

perfect! now there is another way to find slope pick two points (x,y)(x,y)

17. Taylor0402

so is the answer 5 over 6x

18. Nnesha

slope = rise over run not run over rise

19. Taylor0402

oh so 6 over 5x

20. Nnesha

i'll pick two points and then use slope formula to check |dw:1444311225244:dw| $\frac{ y_2 -y_1 }{ x_2 -x_1}$

21. Nnesha

that's right !

22. Taylor0402

thank you so much

23. Nnesha

but i'll show u how to find slope using slope formula (0,0)(5,6) substitute these two points into the formula

24. Taylor0402

i got an 80% on my test thank you so much

25. Nnesha

-.-

26. Taylor0402

it was only a 5 question test and both questions i asked you were right

27. Nnesha

i thought it's a h.w that's sad.

28. Nnesha

i hope you understand the work how to find slope and yy-intercept good luck

29. Taylor0402

it was school work and while you were explaning it to me i was taking the test but on a different question

30. Taylor0402

thats why before i had put up the wrong picture

31. Taylor0402

the origional picture i put up was a test question the other one that we answered was the school work question

32. Nnesha

it's okay ( i guess) no need to lie abt :=)

33. Nnesha

anywys good luck!! :=)

34. Taylor0402

thx
