Question 117166: Trying to help my teen w/a project as she's missed a week of school. She was given 10-slopes (i.e. m=0, m=3/4, etc) which will create a design/picture when graphed. It's been a while (25+ years) since I've done this. Since she was not given anything for x or y, is it safe to assume I chose one and use it in each of the 10 equations? I think the equation I use is y= mx + b, but I'm not sure. Guidance for a struggling parent? I'm the oldest on the block and no one else's kids have gotten to this fun part of life yet. Once I get started I'm confident it will all come back...

YOU'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK:
Y=mX+b IS THE LINE EQUATION WITH m=SLOPE & b=Y INTERCEPT.
I WOULD ASSUME ONE SET OF POINTS WOULD SURFICE.
THEN YOU NEED TO DRAW 10 DIFFERENT SLOPES(m) THROUGH THAT POINT.
OR YOU CAN REPLACE THE (X,Y) VALUES & THE GIVEN SLOPE m=0, m=3/4 ETC. AND DRAW THE LINES THROUGH THE CHOSEN POINT & THE Y INTERCEPT VALUE (b).
