Question

x-intercept 2, y-intercept 3/5

the slope-intercept form for the line is ??? plz

Answer 1

are you familiar with the intercept form\[\frac xa + \frac yb = 1\]
where:
a = x-intercept
b = y-intercept

Answer 2

sort of

Answer 3

good. so try substituting. what do you get?

Answer 4

would it be like y=m2+3/5?

Answer 5

m2?

Answer 6

y =m(x)+b is formula??

Answer 7

this is entire question

Answer 8

find the slope-intercept form for the line satisfying the following conditions.

x-intercept 2, y-intercept 3/5

the slope-intercept form for the line is ??? plz

Answer 9

it will look like that yes

Answer 10

y = mx + b

Answer 11

where would we put the 3/5 would it be x or y
?

Answer 12

b

Answer 13

y=2+3/5?

Answer 14

no

Answer 15

like i said follow what i say first. you'll get there

Answer 16

y=2x=3/5

Answer 17

substitute 2 and 3/5 into \[\frac xa + \frac yb = 1\]

Answer 18

2/1 + 3/5

Answer 19

what?

Answer 20

is that how i would set up the problem?

Answer 21

not really grasping how to start it

Answer 22

follow what i say....

Answer 23

k

Answer 24

substitute 2 and 3/5 into \[\frac xa + \frac yb = 1\]

Answer 25

where do we get a and b?

Answer 26

a = x-intercept
b = y-intercept

Answer 27

but y would be 3/5
and what would be the bottom number for 2 also?

Answer 28

huh? a is the x-intercept and b is the y-intercept. so what are the x and y-intercepts here?

Answer 29

x= 2 and y would be 3/5 so would it be 2/1 +3/5

Answer 30

x is not 2 and y is not 3/5

Answer 31

substitute 2 into a and substitute 3/5 into b

Answer 32

x/2 + y over 3/5

Answer 33

where did = 1 go?

Answer 34

so 2/1x and 3/5 y

Answer 35

no...

x/2 + y/3/5 = 1

Answer 36

i am so lost so how would the form look like
or is that the form

Answer 37

just follow what im saying and stop thinking about the answer

Answer 38

do you get what i did?

Answer 39

ok

Answer 40

yes

Answer 41

now multiply 3/5 to all the terms...what do you get?

Answer 42

1 for 2/1times 3/5 and 9/5 for 3/5 times 3/5

Answer 43

....what are you doing? you multiply 3/5 to

\[\huge \frac x2 + \frac y{\frac 35} = 1\]

Answer 44

let me help
x-intercept is 2 so we have the point (2,0)
y- intercept is 3/5 so we have (0,3/5)
y=mx+b
b is y intercept, so b = 3/5
y=mx+3/5
now sub (2,0)
0=m(2)+3/5
2m=-3/5
m= (-3/5)*(1/2)
m=-3/10
so what is your equations

Answer 45

y=3/10x +3/5

Answer 46

im sure bobdole wasnt taught
\[\frac{ x }{ a }+\frac{ y }{ b } method\]

Answer 47

not even a little

Answer 48

you should have -3/10

Answer 49

another way is to look at graph
do you have graph paper?

Answer 50

y=-3/10x-3/5

Answer 51

do not have graph paper

Answer 52

no y=-3/10 x +3/5

Answer 53

oh ok thanx you so very very much

Answer 54

dont the bottom have to be common denominators?

Answer 55

no because you are wanting the slope intercept form :-)
