Question

The slope is - 3/4 and the y-intercept is 5. What is the equation of the line?

Answer 1

y=1.3x+5

Answer 2

Thank you. What are the steps for getting to that answer?

Answer 3

the rise should be 4 and the run as 3 so divided 4 by 3 witch is 1.3 this is the is your gradient and the y intersept is 5 then put that into the equation off y=1.3x+5

Answer 4

way to go dumpellet, actually the answer is y = 13/10x + 5, sorry about the other guy he just helped another person and .....

Answer 5

the slop of the line witch is rise over run to find out the gradient

Answer 6

thanks cycle. How do i get to the answer you gave me? It looks like it makes sense. I don't know what a gradient is though

Answer 7

conversion 1.3 is 13/10 in improper fraction form..... good job at least your trying to figure it out

Answer 8

? way do u change it into a improper fraction when you can leave it the same

Answer 9

because it is how you properly write algebraic equations unless it calls for otherwise.....

Answer 10

see yah later dumass

Answer 11

no not really because if you were working it out using a graph it would stay the same a 1.3
