Question

Find the slope intercept form for the line satisfying the following conditions. x-intercept 3, y-intercept 1/5

Answer 1

First Write the Equarion of the line using intercept form

Answer 2

x/a + y/b = 1


a = x intercept

b = y intercept

Answer 3

(3, 0) x-intercept
(0, 1/5) y-intercept
find the slope from these points
slope = m = (1/5 - 0)/(0-3)
m = (1/5)/-3 =-1/15
now slope = -1/15
and y-intercept = 1/5
can you write the equation now???

Answer 4

Equn of intercept from line is given by x/a +y/b=1
so you have given a=3
y=1/5
so easily calculate
x/3+5y=1
