Question

Draw a line that has the given slope and y- intercept. 7x=5y

Answer 1

slope = coefficient of x
y intercept is where x equals zero

Answer 2

Hhhmm still confused as to how I would write it.

Answer 3

Should it look something like this? y=7x+0

Answer 4

well in has to be in linear form so isolate y first
7/5x=y or y = 7/5x
therefore your slope would be 7/5

Answer 5

ok so you are dividing 5 by both sides to get rid of y right?

Answer 6

So now I understand how you got 7/5x but now as far as the line how would that appear. I am so lost and this really confuses me. Sorry

Answer 7

it's alright =)
write out a x and y intercepts chart and you can see point such as
x=5 y=7
x=10 y=14
x=15 y=21

and then you just graph them and draw a line through all the points

Answer 8

May I ask another question?

Answer 9

Write an equation of the line containing the specified point and perpendicular to the indicated line. (-3, 7) Y=5

Answer 10

I came up with -1/5x+ 4/5 is this correct or did I do it correctly

Answer 11

Hello? Are you still there?

Answer 12

yea hold on;
it's 3/5 for the last variable I believe
other than that everything looks great!

Answer 13

Ok instead of 4/5 it should be 3/5?

Answer 14

yep!

Answer 15

I am not sure what it is that I did wrong.
y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 16

y-(-2)= -1/5(x-4)

Answer 17

yea that's the correct form; i suppose you just substituted 4 instead of -3 before multiplying it by -1/5

Answer 18

the coordinates are (-3, 7)...

Answer 19

I came up with y+2= -1/5(x-4)

Answer 20

when I multiply -1/5 x -4 i got the answer 0.8

Answer 21

which in fraction I got 4/5
....is this correct

Answer 22

I am all confused now bec now when I subtract -2 from each side I get -1/2

Answer 23

never mind that was the incorrect equation
let me try the correct one which is (4,-2) x=1

Answer 24

How would I solve for this?
