Do You Know What Slope Intercept Form Is And Can You Tell Me Please Math Is Hard :{

do you know what slope intercept form is and can you tell me please math is hard :{

yeah sure, so slope intercept form (sometimes called “a linear equation”) is simply [y = mx + b], and it is basically just one way of mathematically condensing all the information you need to generate an infinitely-long straight line

y and x represent the y and x axes of the graph, and aren’t ever going to change, really. you could do [x = my + b], too, but no one really does that because it just overcomplicates things. so, for the most part, just ignore x and y. they’re just variables.

m indicates the slope, or steepness, of the line. so if m is 3, then for every 1 unit you move right (x-ward) you’d also move 3 units up (y-ward). larger m values indicate steeper lines. a negative m value indicates the line slopes downwards to the right

b is the y-intercept: where your line intersects with [x = 0]. this basically just shifts the entire line up or down on the y-axis, which is necessary for figuring out where the line actually is in 2d space

get some graph paper and a ruler and practice making some lines using this formula, changing the m and b values to whatever you like. you should be able to grasp it pretty quickly with this hands-on approach. good luck in your studies!

The Hill article
Title: Egg companies are getting government bailouts while price-gouging consumers
by Joel Dodge, Opinion Contributor - 05/01/25 9:30 AM ET

Egg prices reached another record high last month. It now costs American shoppers an average of $6.23 for a dozen eggs — nearly a five-fold increase since 2020.

Yet while families have been squeezed by grocery sticker shock, agriculture corporations have been raking in record profits. Cal-Maine, the country’s largest egg producer, took in $509 million this quarter alone, tripling its profits from a year ago.

Gouging consumers is bad enough. But it gets worse: Cal-Maine and other ag companies were breaking the bank at the same time they were also quietly getting millions in taxpayer-funded relief payments from the federal government. Congress and the Trump administration must put a stop to this: No company that is getting corporate subsidies should be allowed to hike prices and extract windfall profits from American consumers.

Isn't it amazing that they faced no consequences.

5-fold increase in egg price

3-fold increase in profit

plus millions in government subsidies

while egg production has only decreased by 4%

We don't have an egg supply issues. It is corporate greed and the government condoning it.

No Amazon. No Walmart. No Target. No Disney. No Google. No Apple. No Visa or Mastercard. And especially no Facebook. I will not be posting on Meta platforms for the next 24 hours in support of the economic blackout.

“Those poor boys”

“She deserves to be punished too.”

“I’m not saying I support rape, but-”

“Sorry to say - she deserved it.”

“She put herself in harm’s way”

“But if she was fingered, then that’s not rape.”

“She ruined their lives.”

Lots Of Thoughts Recently. Everything Feels Plastic.

Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.

I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.

Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.

Support real artists ☀️
