Question

1. Write the equation of the line with a slope of 2/3 and a y-intercept of 5 in general form. Clearly show and explain each step

Answer 1

@jazy ? can u help

Answer 2

given m=2/3 and c=5
hence both slope and y -intercpt of y=mx +c is known
ths the required eq of line is y=2/3 x +5
or y-5 =2x/3
or 3y-15=2x
or 2x -3y +15=0 (the required eq. of line )

Answer 3

what?

Answer 4

So you need it in standard form?

Answer 5

Or slope-intercept form?

Answer 6

slope intercept

Answer 7

Anyways we need to get it into slope-intercept before any other format.

So you have a slope of 2/3 and a y-intercept of 5.

Remember that Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b where m is slope and b is y-intercept. So just plug in the values.

y = 2/3x + 5

Answer 8

so thats the answer? all i do is plug it in?

Answer 9

Pretty much... If its Slope-intercept form what you're looking for.

thank you
