Question

Type the equation of the given line in standard form.
The line with a slope (-1/3) of and b of 6.

Would I just substitute that into y=mx+b? giving me y=(-1/3)x+6. And then to get to standard form I would put the constants on one side giving me (-1/3)+y=6. Would that be right? Thanks ! :D

Answer 1

did u try to solve it

Answer 2

I don't have to solve it, just put it in standard form.

Answer 3

Does that make sense?

Answer 4

Yep!

standard form:
\(ax^2+bx+c=0\)

Can be found from simply re-arranging:
y=mx+b

y=(-1/3)x+6
Correct!

Now when y = 0?

Answer 5

You don't have any x^2 term, it's just something x and a constant :-)

Answer 6

Oh okay, thanks :)

Answer 7

np! ^_^
