Hello there!
A positive slope is represented in a linear equation by a positive coefficient behind the x term. A positive slope means that the graph is on an increasing interval as x approaches +∞. In a more simple way, a positive slope means that the graph is going up from left to right.
A negative slope is represented in a linear equation by a negative coefficient behind the x term. A negative slope means that the graph is on a decreasing interval as x approaches +∞. In a more simple way, a negative slope means that the graph is going down from left to right.
The x intercept(s) of a graph are where the graph touches the x-axis. These are also known as the zero(s) OR solution(s) of the function.
The y intercept(s) of a graph are where the graph touches the y-axis.
I hope this helps!
Best wishes:)
y=3x-2 y=-2x+8
3x-2=-2x+8 (plus 2 each side)
3x=-2x+6 (plus 2x each side)
5x=6 (divide by 5 each side)
x=1.2
Plug x back into an equation
y=3(1.2)-2
y=3.6-2
y=1.6
Answer: (1.2, 1.6)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Let's check his work by simplifying the given expression.</u>
- 2(x - 2) - 2(3)
- => 2x - 4 - 6
- => 2x - 10
When I compare Marty's result and this result, they are un-equal. Hence, Marty is incorrect.
<u>Marty's mistake</u>
- Marty must've got the problem wrong because of not understanding the distributive property.
- He probably forgot to multiply -2 by 2. Instead, he only subtracted 2 when he should've subtracted 4 from 2x.

Step-by-step explanation:
Hello : let A(2,3) B(4,6)
the slope is : (YB - YA)/(XB -XA)
(6-3)/(4-2) = 3/2
an equation is : y=ax+b a is a slope
y = (3/2)x +b
the line through point (2,3) : 3 = (3/2)(2)+b
b = 0
the equation is : y =(3/2)x
