How does knowing the slope and y-intercept help you graph and write the equation of a line?

It allows to to know y-intercept formula which is used to graph a line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Y-intercept formula:

y=mx+b

  M: slope (keep in fraction if it is fraction, to help you graph)

  B: y-interecept

step-by-step explanation:

the original amount doesn't ''re just looking for the time it takes for 1/2 of the substance to we have

(1/2) =)     take the ln   of both sides

ln (1/2)   = )   and we can write

ln(1/2) = ) lne     and lne   = 1     so we have

ln(1/2) = -.1092t     divide both sides by -.1092

t = ln(1/2)/-.1092 = about 6.347 days = about 6.3 days (rounded)
