I need help on my algebra 1 homework ! If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
1 answer:
For numbers 9 and 10, you just need to find the slope and y-intercept. To find the slope, do change in y over change in x which would be -5 minus -3 over -2 minus -1. and that would equal -2 over -1 which simplifies to 2. So 2 is the slope! and that's a little confusing so I'll attach a picture showing those steps.
to find the y-intercept, plug in an ordered pair in the slope-intercept equation: y=mx + b. Let's just use (-1, -3). So for y, you'd plug in y from the ordered pair, -3, and for the slope (m) you'd plug in 2, since you found that earlier. for x, use the ordered pair again, -1. And you're trying to find the y-intercept (b) so leave that blank to find. So plug all the numbers in and you get -3 = 2(-1) + b. Which you then solve as a one step equation. Again, I've attached a picture if the words are confusing.
for number 10, do the same thing to find the slope! And they've given you the y-intercept in the problem (0,-5). Now I feel like I've written too much so I'll cover the other problems in another answer lol.

Check the picture, notice the domain in red.
recall that the domain is the values for the x-coordinate, whilst the range is the values for the y-coordinate.
