what is the slope and y intercept of a line that contains the point (5,-1) and has the same intercept as x-3y=6?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Find x and y intercept of x-3y=6

anonymous · Answer

then use Slope intercept form

anonymous · Answer

would x= 6 and y=-2?

nubeer · Answer

yes it would be that @Judith5

anonymous · Answer

how would i plug them in the slope intercept form?

hba · Answer

The slope intercept form is

y-y1=m(x-x1)

anonymous · Answer

would i put the x= 6 and y=-2 to that equation or the points given in the question?

hba · Answer

No (x1,y1)=(6,-2)

nubeer · Answer

i dont think so @hba  6 and -2 were the x and y intercepts.. not a point.

hba · Answer

Oh I did not see .


(x1,y1)=(5,-1)


Sorry about that.

hba · Answer

You can find the slope also which you have to by the formula

m=-coefficient of x/co-efficient of y

anonymous · Answer

so i would put (6-2)=(5-1)?

hba · Answer

No put the point (x1,y1)=(5,-1)


in 


y-y1=m(x-x1)

hba · Answer

I gave you the formula for the slope also so first find slope.

Then use the equation.

hba · Answer

@Judith5 

Got it ?

anonymous · Answer

yup, thanks
