Question

i'm suppose to find the equation of a line i only know the x and y intercept x being -1 and y being -5. i need them in slop intercept form but confused as to how to find it

Answer 1

u just have to find the slope thats all.

Answer 2

u have two cordinates right?

(-1,0) & (0, -5)

use these to find the slope.

Answer 3

Slope = -5/1
= -5

Answer 4

Now, put these in the equation.

y = mx + b
y = -5x -5

Answer 5

all i have on my paper is x-incept= -1, y intercept=-5 i dont have any coordinates

Answer 6

when x intercpts, y = 0

when y intercpts x = 0

so, make the cordinates by youself.

Answer 7

x = (-1,0) & y= (0, -5)

Answer 8

so then i find the slope with those right

Answer 9

Right.

Answer 10

so it would be 5 over 1?

Answer 11

\[m = \frac{-5-0}{0-(-1)}\]

Answer 12

\[m = \frac{-5}{1}\]

Answer 13

oh

Answer 14

ok i got is so then how would i put it in slop-intercept form?

Answer 15

u got the y intercpt right?

Answer 16

and u got the slope too.

Answer 17

yea

Answer 18

now u also know that in an equation:

y = mx + b

where m is slope and b is the y-intercpt..
just simply insert.

Answer 19

so it should look like y=-5(-1)-5?

Answer 20

why u wrote -1?

Answer 21

it isnt needed. :p

Answer 22

oh ok

Answer 23

so y=-5x-5?

Answer 24

right.

Answer 25

yay thank you so much(:

Answer 26
