Question

PLEASE HELP I WANT OUT OF SUMMER SCHOOL

put in standard form the equation of the given line.

The line with m = -3/8 and passing through (5, -4)

Answer 1

y=mx+c
Use that equation ^
Where m=slope
And (5,-4)=(x,y)

Answer 2

My program tells me to use Ax+By=C

Answer 3

then use Ax + By = C

Answer 4

slope tends to be: -a/b

Answer 5

I have no idea how to do that! so that obviously didn't help

Answer 6

then maybe you should stay in summer school :/

Answer 7

your given the values of a and b in the form: -a/b

pull them out and use them in the standard form

your given the values of x and y in the form (x,y)

use them in the standard form to determine the value of c

Answer 8

sorry this is the first time ive been in public school. being homeschooled you dont learn much. so thanks

Answer 9

lol, i learnt more teaching myself than anyone was ever able to teach me :)

Answer 10

if we take the standard form

ax + by = c and solve for y we get the slope intercept form

y = -a/b x + c/b

that -a/b is the slope of the equation; which they give you as -3/8

Answer 11

therefore, a = 3 and b = 8 to fill in with

Answer 12

3x + 8y = c ; use the x and y from the given point (5,-4) to determine c
5 -4
------------
15-32 = c

the rest is clean up
