what is the equation of a line that passes through (0,0) and (5,3)??

Question

anonymous · Answer

y = x5/3

anonymous · Answer

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

anonymous · Answer

or "rise (change in y values) / run (change in x values)"

anonymous · Answer

isnt that the slope tho? i need the equation

the answers in the multiple choice are:

a) 3y-5x=0
b) 5x+3y=0
c) x+xy=8
d) 5y-3x=0
e) None of the above

anonymous · Answer

ok...you've got the answer now rearrange the equation

anonymous · Answer

come on try it .....it can't hurt

anonymous · Answer

but you have a division symbol in your and i dont use division or multiplication

anonymous · Answer

i mean the multiple choice not me

anonymous · Answer

rearrange it....multiply both sides by 3...then move the xterm to the other side ...what do you get

anonymous · Answer

i just dont understand your equation x5/3?

anonymous · Answer

is that a fraction or division?

anonymous · Answer

a fraction and division are the same thing 5/3 means 5 parts out of 3 and 5 divided by 3

anonymous · Answer

ok true would it be b) 5x+3y=0?

abstracthaven · Answer

d.

anonymous · Answer

so 5/3*3 = 3 and 3*y = 3y these are just sybolic representaions they essentially mean the same thing

anonymous · Answer

oh i meant d i got the axis mixed up

anonymous · Answer

sorry my original eq was wrong:y = x3/5

anonymous · Answer

and yes d is the correct answer

anonymous · Answer

ok perfect thanks for the help i have to do an assessment test for college wednesday and i forgot most of the stuff we learned :(

abstracthaven · Answer

its d. because
5y-3x=0
5y=3x
y=3/5x

anonymous · Answer

don't worry...you'll sail through just remember start with the basic and you ca't go wrong
