Hi.. I am greatly appreciative of these lesson , Thank you so much . Following your instructions, I keep getting positive 1/2 as the answer for #4

[@marlonheyliger4969]

I have my test this Friday just want to be certain

[@GetSumMath]

@@marlonheyliger4969 Hey there, I'll show how I would solve that one here so you can double check your work: 8x - 4y = 12 minus 8x on both sides: -4y = -8x + 12 divide both sides by -4 (to get y by itself): y = 2x - 3 So the slope for this line so far is positive 2 or 2/1. We'll flip it and reverse it to find the perpendicular slope, which is -1/2 Does that help for that one?

[@marlonheyliger4969]

Hi.. I did see my error just now. I am now getting the correct answer. Sir I truly want to to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am 53 and I am going to do the GED exam 2 days from now

[@SDTHATSMETV]

OMG!! I've been trying to pass this last subject (Math) off and on for the past 14 years, and I have the confidence that I'm about to get the last 3 points and some. This will be my congratulations score! You are a GOD send! He works through people. I'm 55 and will finally have my GED for my Christmas present. I'm in tears, thank you so much!

Haha you’re too funny 😂 flip it and reverse it like Missy Elliot sang. I’m crying but I get it at the same time!!!

[@alexismcdavid8104]

This was the best explanation on slope and the way you were not at all faced paced and very patient explaining is very much appreciated you have no idea. I'm literally on my math GED my last one and I've seriously been struggling to pass it very heart braking each and everytime but this helped so much with figuring out slopes! I want to cry cause you explained it perfectly to me🙏❤.

[@GetSumMath]

I’m so happy to hear that!! 🙏🏼 Thank you for reaching out to let me know! All the best with your last test - you got this!!

[@tomd3514]

How did you determine it rises to 3 ? And not 4 ? Or not in the negatives ?

[@GetSumMath]

You can think of it as how many “steps” you have to take, so it only starts once you make your first step away from the point. I hope that helps some!

[@trucker-vx1sv]

Will all the slope questions be ones that you have to solve with equations like all the ones outside of the first 2 examples?

[@GetSumMath]

Great question! They could be any of the 4 different types that I show in this one 👍🏼

[@trucker-vx1sv]

@@GetSumMath Thanks! the ones that require you to solve equations have me in a loop because I don’t think the calculator can help with this

[@GetSumMath]

@@trucker-vx1sv Exactly, you can just guess on those! 😜

[@GetSumMath]

Oh also, I'm not sure if you saw these two videos, but these you can do completely with the calculator: Equations of Lines: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYvafKp3Zaefa8U Quadratics: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gny2o6KiZa6iqLs

[@trucker-vx1sv]

@@GetSumMatheah watched these both a couple times! these two im comfy with because you can use the calculator. So are those also 2 main topics on the test?

[@saricameron3966]

When four points are given to find the slope, could we use the slope formula? Y-y divided by x-x?

[@GetSumMath]

For sure! And you can use any 2 points out of the 4, the formula will give you the same answer no matter which 2 points you use 👍🏼

[@Dubai464]

hey guys, can anyone tell me what type questions most include in Math test?

[@GetSumMath]

Hey there, some common topics to pass are: • Determine Functions • Line Plots • Compare Rates • Mean, Median, Mode • Plotting Points • Functions • Substitutions • Solve Equations • Slope • Quadratics • Equations of Lines • Geometry (Area, Perimeter, Volume, Surface Area) I know that's a lot, but you could also check out: • Calculator Problems • 10 Common Problems as a fast way to prep!

[@GetSumMath]

I have practice for free on my website, too! GetSumMath.com

[@kmos1271]

Can the perpendicular question be done on calculator in table? Or will we need to use white board?

[@GetSumMath]

That one will have to be a whiteboard one unfortunately 🙈

[@dichondrajohnson6516]

Yes 🙌🏾

[@AntonioBermudez-ir5wj]

When u got the 1 over 3 how did you get the minus sign when you said flip it 🤷🏽

[@GetSumMath]

Hey there, that's the reverse the sign part. So you'll flip it, and reverse the sign: if it's positive, it'll change to a negative. Hope that helps clarify that a little bit!

[@saricameron3966]

I only have math to go and I am terrified to schedule. The strange think is, I went to college and university in my county and pass calculus, statistics and pre calculus but these high school maths got me terrified

[@GetSumMath]

Hopefully these will help refresh some of those topics! 🙏🏼

[@xdestv2360]

Do you only move the slope ?

[@GetSumMath]

You'll use the rise/run just for the slope. Let me know if that helps or not!

@@xdestv2360 Congrats mate!! 🙌🏼😜

[@kriakris12345]

When we find the slope of a line that passes through 2 points, why is rise over run reversed? I though the first number is RISE and the second number is RUN.

[@GetSumMath]

It’s a great question. Rise over run with points is: y2 - y1 / x2 - x1 So rise is how the y’s change, and the run is how the x’s change. But it’s still rise over run, it’s just that rise is how y’s change and run is how x’s change. Since slope is steepness of a line, how high up or down it goes takes priority over how much it runs. I hope that helps explain a little bit more 🤞🏼

[@laura3619]

💯💯

[@heatherlambb]

Slope was the one thing I actually understood in 8th grade 😂😂

[@GetSumMath]

😜

[@tea5481]

im wondering how to do the problems where they give you 2 different points because you aren't provided a graph 🤕

[@GetSumMath]

There are 2 options. They do give you a whiteboard, so you could sketch a grid and plot the points on the whiteboard, then find the rise over run. Or, you could use the slope formula: y2 - y1 / x2 - x1 So if you're finding the slope between (3, 5) and (9, 8), you want to subtract y's and x's: 8 - 5 / 9 - 3 3 / 6 1/2 So the slope is 1/2 in that case. Let me know if that helps 🙏🏻
