Question

what is the slope and y-intercept of the line represented by the equation below?

13x-8y=12

A.slope=13/8
y-intercept=-3/2

B.slope=-13/8
y-intercept=3/2

C.Slope=13/8
y-intercept=3/2

D.Slope=-13/8
y-intercept=-3/2

Answer 1

please help me!

Answer 2

The y-inter is when x=0, so that one should be fairly easy to find.

Answer 3

im not sure how to do it

Answer 4

help me get the answer?

Answer 5

Do you see where the x is? Plug a 0 in there.

Answer 6

k then what?

Answer 7

Solve for y.

Answer 8

i dont get it is okay tho

Answer 9

Okay here:
To solve for the y-inter we plug in for x:
13(0)-8y=12
0-8y=12
Now we divide by -8

y=-12/8
Simplify it down to get:

y=-3/2


So we know the answer has to have a -3/2 eliminating half the choices

Answer 10

okay thank you!

Answer 11

Do you know hot to find the slope?

Answer 12

well no i think i do but i might be missing something

Answer 13

would it be D?

Answer 14

Try it and show me what you get

Answer 15

D is wrong

Answer 16

13x-8y=12
-8y=-13x+12
y=13x/8+3/2

Answer 17

is that for the slope?

Answer 18

Yes

Answer 19

So the answer by default is A

Answer 20

*y=13x/8-3/2

Answer 21

ok thank you so much

Answer 22

Yup!
