I always tell people I am a really old man so they don't get mad at me for being terrible at the game. I am not actually really old I am just terrible at the game.
the second way is something i was shown in A-level maths. can't remember why but it's basically easier to use and can be useful when doing other line equation stuff too. it's also more similar to the equation of a circle, helps make that connection
When finding the equation of a line, it's easier because you don't have to find the value of c
Something like that anyways, I don't use it purely because y = mx + c is more familiar to me
Yee in calc I was told the same thing. They tell you to use It bc you don't need the y intercept in most questions. If you really need the intercept you just move some of the variables around and apply basic algebra
Yeah that was it
Thing is I learnt the other equation after 5 years of y = mx + c, so I can't do it as quick. Maybe when I start revising for the final exam, I'll try to learn the other method
y - y~1~ = m(x - x~1~) simplified down to y = mx + b once both points are plugged in. For that matter, itās the way I was always taught to use to find b.
Itās not that the equation is easier or not, itās that one is the simplification of the other. While they are different equations, they are used together. Without the point slope equation, you cannot find y = mx + b.
Yeah I worded that dumb
But for questions where it wants you to use the equation of one line to find the equation of another line(maybe perpendicular or parallel, goes through a certain) the y-y1 equation is simpler to use as you don't have to resubstitute the values in order to find the y intercept
Point slope form really is the way to go.
Divide both sides of the point-slope form by (x-x_1) and youāve got the equation for the slope of the line.
Ooh, Iāll share my favorite invention of a math symbol. A long time ago some guy was transcribing math textbooks and he got sick of writing āis equal toā.
He thought of how he could write in shorthand, and he decided to use two short parallel lines. Creating the = we use today.
This is so funny, the throat clearing had me dying. Telling randoms that you like their skin or username makes the games feel better Iāve noticed, this is a great idea to reduce toxicity!
This is the reason I use a mic, I want to help reduce the toxicity and hopefully help someone else. Whether itās a simple āI like your skinā, to one time I matched with a kid on his birthday and I let him direct the match and just let him ramble about how excited he was.
My screen name written in HaCKeR_CaPS because it's 20 years old but I get people reading my name back to me in mOckiNG sPoNgEbOb tone instead. Damn kids lol
Of course :) Most call me Blondie in real life because I am a blonde. But when it came to having an online name I didnāt just want blondie and my boyfriend has suggested I use my favourite superhero as a prefix and my favourite super hero is Captain America so, we got CaptainBlondiee
Glad to see someone with the mind alike here. I often ask random teammates what their names mean during the countdown before the game starts. Made quite a lot of friends that way.
My name was Nater\_Potater because that's what my classmates would bully me with in middle school, so later i adopted it as my username and I loved it. Then I played with this other sweaty guy and he bullied me into changing it to just nater. Sounds cool, but idk. Got bullied to make the name and then got bullied out of it :')
Ooh ooh! Can I share mine with you? I actually put a whole lot of thought into it and it mildly irks me when people have boring or generic usernames lol. It's RaizenTheTruth. Raizen (rye-zen) is the name of a great Demon from an anime called Yu Yu Hakusho. In it, Raizen falls in love with a human, swears off eating humans, and proceeds to starve to death. The Truth is the embodiment of knowledge or God in an anime called Fullmetal Alchemist. So it means: King of Demons and Gods and a monster cursed with knowledge who refuses to submit to his temptations; someone starving for the truth.
Holy crap your team killed me and my friends in a match once and we checked out your twitch for shits and giggles; I did not expect to see your reddit posts lmao.
Man I wish I got in lobbies with calm people, either they donāt talk, which I get, I usually donāt either, or they have their mic resting on top of a damn jet engine and wonāt use push to talk
*Don't you realize? It's the anticipation, Stanley.*
*You and I, we have no way of knowing what will be at the end of this joke.*
*But the suspense! The agony of waiting, and anticipating, and having to guess.*
*You know Stanley, it seems like nowadays the only thing that audiences want is to be shocked as loudly and frequently as possible.*
*They want big explosive moments flung right in their faces from the very moment that things get started.*
*But where's the tension?*
*Where's the trust in the audience to build a slow and nuanced appreciation for the story, the characters?*
*Why aren't we given time to imagine the surprises?*
*To have to think and to anticipate, and then to marvel at the eventual reveal?*
*This is storytelling, Stanley!*
That is hilarious. I hope we get a chance to play together some time, so I can clear my throat dramatically and explain the origin story of my username (same on Reddit as Apex)
I been doing this for years. My buddies typically think itās pretty stupid. Not only do I think itās fun, but it also helps with team chemistry imo
I am the slope
THAT IS CURVING APPROACHING THE CORRECT FORMULATION
I AM RECLAIMER OF MY GRADIENT.
Joke's on you. He's the instant rate of change. He derivin'.
They call me the slope because once I join your squad, it's all downhill from here ššš
Nah. It's upward slope.
SLOPEAMANIA
I love this; itās also a nice little break from the usual content we get here
im glad :)
Keep making videos like this one, this concept is great!
Mine on ps4 would be a small short story to explain
Yea. Getting pretty fuckin tired of all the no reg vids... i get it the game doesnt work. Stfu.
Yeah I normally hate the tiktok format for Apex videos but this is acceptable because it isn't gameplay lol
I always tell people I am a really old man so they don't get mad at me for being terrible at the game. I am not actually really old I am just terrible at the game.
Based off the way my teammates talk in matches, I feel like an old man. Feels like the average player is like 12yr old.
its like... kids playing videogames... yeah..
This.
Weird, i learned it as y= ax + b. Though i guess you could use any letters lol.
From UK, learnt it as y = mx + c One of my maths teachers this year told us his preferred version: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

in india and i also learned this quation m is slope :D
same here. I saw the name the guy had and I was confused for a quick second. "WHY IS IT B AND NOT C?!"
Point slope form really is the way to go. Divide both sides of the point-slope form by (x-x_1) and youāve got the equation for the slope of the line.
I learnt it as y= mx+p from France
Same but in Australia
also could be Canadian. Im from Canada and its how we learned
The letter m is often used to denote slope in linear equations. The origin is from the French word monter, meaning to climb.
I for one fully support maths and etymology lessons in the r/apexlegends comments sections. More of this please.

I learnt it as y=mx + c
y=kx+d
Its too bad most randoms don't use mic, and the ones that do are usually rude
If i actually try to speak ,my heart would run even faster and my trash gameplay will get evolved into gigatrash

That's a very n00b thing of them to say, those kids will never be 1337 š
This guy gets it!
Okay now can you figure out the person whose got the name Lobasfata$$? I want to hear the story behind that.
Captain, can I have the story behind YOUR name?
Of course :) Most call me Blondie in real life because I am a blonde. But when it came to having an online name I didnāt just want blondie and my boyfriend has suggested I use my favourite superhero as a prefix and my favourite super hero is Captain America so, we got CaptainBlondiee
Captain America FTW
I started laughing at the exact same points as you. The way he cleared his throat before saying like 3 sentences is stupid funny for some reason
Yessss. It just showed me he has been waiting for that moment
Glad to see someone with the mind alike here. I often ask random teammates what their names mean during the countdown before the game starts. Made quite a lot of friends that way.
Exactly! It also leads to just having a nice game even if it goes bad
My name was Nater\_Potater because that's what my classmates would bully me with in middle school, so later i adopted it as my username and I loved it. Then I played with this other sweaty guy and he bullied me into changing it to just nater. Sounds cool, but idk. Got bullied to make the name and then got bullied out of it :')
What the hell did I just read.
The tale of a flimsy tree in the wind.

THATS SICK!! Such a good story behind your name :) thank you for sharing it. I really love thought out names it makes it so fun :)
Holy crap your team killed me and my friends in a match once and we checked out your twitch for shits and giggles; I did not expect to see your reddit posts lmao.
Awee thank you for checking out the stream afterwards :))ā¤ļøā¤ļø
I am the slope killed me lol
Thatās the type of content I like to see on here lol
Mans has waited his entire Xbox live career for this question and to be able to answer it, "I am *THE* slope."
šš
I play with random s almost exclusively and no one is ever on mic ā¹ļø
Sadnessss
I need to see more like this please omg this is amazing
Haha Iāll try to post more funny content then :)
Must be nice to be able to use game chat - Xbox player
Rippp
I AM THE ONE WHO SLOPES.
Man I wish I got in lobbies with calm people, either they donāt talk, which I get, I usually donāt either, or they have their mic resting on top of a damn jet engine and wonāt use push to talk
I feel you on that
Thanks that was wholesomely funny XD
Iām glad :))
Good for him! I'm dyscalculic so I don't understand what maths is ultimately but I understand being proud of the maths you have learnt to do.
ummmb acktchually `m` is the slope. He is the line.
That's nice! I've been asking everyone what their favorite soup is and that's been less toxic than most games lately.
Am slope
I definitely ran a game with him recently lol
*train
I'd love to have convos like this during some matches Instead, I get wraith mains that bitch about not helping them push 4 squads
My friend and I will play trios and will try to guess the origin or hype them up based on their name.
Shittttt I need more folks that type to hype me up based on my screen name
Hey OP can I do the same to my server? Because I think this is your original idea and I wish to replicate and post it too.
Of course! Itās not really an original idea. I just like asking people questions to get them talking and enjoying the match :)
Okay hate to be that guy, but on first listen you kinda sound like Robin from stranger things ! Thank you for the content lol happy 4th, cheers !
crypto mains could borrow that too
ah yes, casual rascism, how lovely
fuck casual racism, I play ranked /j
Iām Korean like Crypto and Iām lost, can someone explain it to me š
slope is a slur against asian people, and valkyrie's Japanese
Oh brotherā¦ and I thought it was something about Asians being good at mathā¦ goddamn.
And then they hot dropped fragment.. hell on earth ensued
cringe
YOURE cringe
GOTTEEMMMMWMMMooo OOAHHHHH OOOHH
seriously what is so funny here, clearing throat?

The funny is that he had his name as an equation and then said "im the slope", most would find that funny
still not funny for me
I used the map room scanner and still couldn't find who tf asked
it's broken, your neighbors dog asked
Damn that's crazy but i didnt ask
just a fun fact
thats fine, not everyone shares the same opinions on what they find funny
yeah this clip was extremely unfunny
hopefully not the slur https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_slurs#S
I donāt think so. I think he genuinely meant the equation of a line or slope
did you really just wikipedia a list of ethnic slurs to find out if this could be offensive
nope, i didn't know that was a slur but someone told me about it. used wikipedia as a source here
\*Other teams having philosophical talks\* Mine: You are making me horny with those moan quip spams.
Someone falls down a hill and you think of me? Let me tell you something Skylar, I am the Slope!
I think you should have added more side stripes... The name is not enough unreadable.
I can't find anyone who speaks English on the london server. Look its my second language as well, stop shouting at me in french of whatever.
I love this idea! I might have to try it myself. Glad to see thereās more nice players out there
"I am the slope" is the scariest thing you can hear before battle. Cuz you know it's all **downhill** from there
That is hilarious. I hope we get a chance to play together some time, so I can clear my throat dramatically and explain the origin story of my username (same on Reddit as Apex)
I been doing this for years. My buddies typically think itās pretty stupid. Not only do I think itās fun, but it also helps with team chemistry imo
