y = mx + b
To find out the slope, you do x sub 1 minus x sub 2 and y sub 1 minus y sub 2.
7-3=4
11-4=7
That gives you (4,7). Can you get it from here? I’m confusing myself…

Oh, I know this. Give me a second.
2008-04-13 20:06:15 on Quick question about copyright law –
[quote cattail]How much of someone else’s work can I use without getting permission?Under the fair use doctrine of the U.S. copyright statute, it is permissible to use limited portions of a work including quotes, for purposes such as commentary, criticism, news reporting, and scholarly reports. There are no legal rules permitting the use of a specific number of words, a certain number of musical notes, or percentage of a work. Whether a particular use qualifies as fair use depends on all the circumstances. See FL 102, Fair Use, and Circular 21, Reproductions of Copyrighted Works by Educators and Librarians.http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-fairuse.html#howmuch[/quote]
Thanks, that sort of helped. The circumstance is that someone is trying to post facts on their profile on a website licensed CC-By, but the website they got the facts from is copyrighted. Another user removed the facts, stating that it was a copyright violation.
2008-04-03 19:39:09 on I’M SORRY TO START OUT BEGGING, but I desperately need to borrow $5,000 ASAP—and will repay with 12 monthly payments of $600 each.
Lol, sorry about that — you can’t exactly just ask random people on the internet for five thousand dollars.
Could you get a loan from the bank, maybe?
2008-02-27 19:35:43 on Ok, A-level choices: French,
Latin is not taught in many places and will help you excel in English, but is not commonly spoken.
Italian is a nice language, but is mostly spoken in Italy.
(A language is important if you don’t already have a second one besides English because it is required in many colleges.)
Physics & Art: Are you interested in physics? Are you interested in art?

[quote Michael Leibman][quote Ireland-1]ok, did anyone ever tell you you were good at lieing Michael Leibman, [/quote]
Nope, but I think I was some time a long time ago.
I couldn’t even bring my mind around the idea of coming up with a fake name for this site.
It seems important… no one goes by their real name… I don’t know, it just seems too difficult.[/quote]
moc.pleH, maybe? ;P

2008-02-23 23:27:06 on Im 13 and i’m still afraid of the dark.
I use a night light — I just thinks it makes it easier if I need to get up during the night for some reason.
Sometimes covering my head with the blanket makes me feel safer. Just make sure to breathe ;)

It’s a matter of opinion, but I like All Star by Smash Mouth.
2008-02-23 14:17:40 on Why do people use “Jew” as an insult?
I’m Jewish, and I just ignore it. If someone says “Jews are stupid”, then I answer “Yeah, they are. I hate Jews. They suck.” and that makes them laugh, and then walk away. If it really bothers you, talk to a teacher or principal.
2008-02-23 12:54:16 on My dad recently deleted EVRYTHING off my computer.
I’ve heard this program works pretty well for recovering files, and it’s free. You might want to check it out and see if it can help you.
