Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line with an x-intercept of 6 and a y-intercept of 5.

Answer 1

x intercept of 6 , and y intercept of 5
we know standard equation for a line with x and y intercept a and b is
\[ x/a+ y/b=1\]
here a =6 and y =5
\[ x/6+ y/5=1\]
in slope intercept form
\[ 5x+6y=30\]
\[ y=-5/6x+5\]
here slope =-5/6
and y intercept=5
