RKDMAN Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 after this long spring brake i haven't the faintest idea how to do this. Here is my current question. y= -x + 3 the y intercept is 3 and there is no slope correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 isnt slope -1? Idk im used to french words so im not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibson Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 the slope is -1 y=mx+b is the general formula and slope is represented by m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Future- Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 the slope is -1y=mx+b is the general formula and slope is represented by m but what is b? pretty sure b is y intercept.. like when you graph it you put your first dot on "b" , then use the slope for the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 y= -x + 3 m = -1 b = +3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKDMAN Posted April 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 y= -x + 3m = -1 b = +3 ty, finally figured it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
