what does m= and  b=1/3 look like as a slope?

Sounds like you need homework help.  Why don't you just post the whole problem?\n\nWhen working with slope, remember to put it in fraction form if it isn't already.  For example a slope of 5 would be the same as a slope of 5/1.  Now, learn the phrase "up and right" because that is how you read slope.  If your slope is 5/1, then from any point on the line, you move up 5 units and right 1 unit to draw the line.  \n\nIf your slope is -3/2 you would move up -3 units (which is the same as down 3) and right 2 units.   If your slope was 9/-7 you would move up 9 units and right -7 units (which is the same as left 7).  Get it?\n\nSo now, back to your question...  One way to write an equation for a line is y=mx+b.  You gave us B, so we know it is y=mx+1/3.  But you didn't give enough information.  \n\nIf that was a mistake and m is supposed to equal 1, then the fraction would be 1/1, and the line would move up 1, right1.  That line would look like it goes up and to the right, in the center at a diagonal straight through the upper right quadrant.\n\nHope that helps

The slope-intercept form for a line is y=mx+b, wherem is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Comparing this form to y=7x+3, you see that m=7 (the slope) and b=3 (the y-intercept).

slope = m\nperpendicular slope = (-1)/m\n\nslope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)\nslope = (2-5)/(4-2)\nslope = -3/2\n\nperpendicular slope = 2/3

Here is a good page describing slope.\n\nhttp://mathforum.org/cgraph/cslope/slope.html

Consider this as two ordered pairs, (10, 50) and (40, 104), with C as x and F as y.  The slope is  (104 - 50)/(40 - 10) = 9/5 = 1.8, so the equation is y = 1.8x + b, where you still don't know b.  Use the first point to see that 50 = 1.8*10 + b ==> b = 50 - 18 = 32.  So y = 1.8x + 32, or F = 1.8C + 32.  This is easy to verify as correct, because it is a well known conversion formula.  You may already know it by heart, but I'm assuming you were required to show your work.

First, you'll move the 6x to the other side to create the equation y=mx+b.  M=Slope.  Divide by 5 to get Y by itself, then you're left with y=-6/5x+13.  So slope is...\n\n-6/5

While I don't believe that there is an official explanation for M, the best I have heard so far is that M is for "modulus of slope".  A modulus is a number that represents to what extent a body has a certain property.  A modulus of slope would be how much slope the line has which is an accurate representation of "M" because it defines how steeply the line rises or falls.\n\nIf you are having a hard time remember that M controls the slope, just say that M represents the "Mope" (rhymes whit slope).  It sounds a little funny but that stuck in my head.

put it in standard form :\n\ny < -1/2x + 3/2 \nand \ny > 2/3x + 2\n\nthen you know the first line passes thru the y axis at 3/2 and the second at 2\n\nthe slopes are -1/2 and 2/3 .... then shade below the line on the first one cuz y is less than .\n\nthen shade above the second line because y is greater than

y = mx + b\n\n"m" is the slope, which is the rise over the run.  y2-y1 / x2/1 = (1-3)/(3-2) = -2/1\nSo, m = -2\n\nPlug in a set of coordinates to find b...\n3 = -2(2) + b\nb = 7\n\nSo, the equation is y = -2x + 7\n\nIn yout case, you want it as Ax+By+C = 0\nThis would be 2x + y - 7 = 0

y=mx+b (this is known as the standard form of linear equations)\n\nm=slope\nx=x values\ny=y values\nb= y-intercept\n\nso the answer for you question is:\n\nslope = -1\ny-intercept = -3\n\nEXPLANATION:\n\ny = mx + b\ny = -x-3\n\nm= -1   and    b = -3\n \nslope = m    and   y-intercept = b\n\nthus, the slope is -1 and the y-intercept is -3\n\n\nNote: the slope is rise/run (rise over run) -- to make a graph use the y-intercept and the slope -- once you have the slope and the y-intercept, making this graph should be easy because it's a linear graph -- but if you still don't get it ask your teacher\n\n\nthus, the slope is not a-1 -----there is no "a"

b isnot true, reciprocal of 3 should be 1/3

Well since you have to plot this on a graph this might be hard to explain only using english - but I'll try.\nQ would be 2 places to the right (from (0,0)) and 3 places up on your graph.  R is 1 place to the left and 1 place down.  S lies 4 places to the left and 2 places up.  Once these are graphed you can see that there is no way they can lay on a single line - so no they don't.\nSlope = rise/run.  R is 3 places below S and 3 places to the right so your rise/run = 3/3 and your slope = -1 (it's negative 1 because the line is sloping doen and not up).  If you were doing the slope from R to Q the slope would be positive.\nI hope this helps, good luck.  Hooray for math!

First get the slope (m):\n(-3-(-3))/(-6-3)=0\nNow the y-int (b):\n-3= 0(3)+b\nso b=-3\nso your equation is \ny=0x-3 or simply\ny=-3\nYou could also just note that the two numbers -6 and 3 map to -3 so the only linear equation satisfying this would be a constant function at -3.  If you don't understand this last comment just ignore it!

The slope of the line is 3/4.

you have a few right answers here slope = -1/4

Okay, -2 is where your graph crosses the Y-axis. 1/3 represents the slope of the line (y/x or rise/run). So that means for every 1 step it goes up, it goes 3 to the right. Just chart it out and you should be able to get it from that. Since it is > and not =, that means Y (answer) is above the line.
