Question

The slope of a line is -1/3, and the y-intercept is 10/3. What is the equation of the line written in general form?


10x + 3y - 1 = 0
x + 3y + 10 = 0
x + 3y - 10 = 0


i got as far as y=-1/3x+10/3

Answer 1

where do i go from there

Answer 2

@texaschic101

Answer 3

y = -1/3x + 10/3
multiply the equation by 3 and tell me what you get

Answer 4

by doing this, it will get rid of the fractions

Answer 5

kk brb

Answer 6

i got y=-1x+10

Answer 7

you have to multiply the y by 3 as well

Answer 8

so 3=-1x+10 ?

Answer 9

3y*

Answer 10

3y = -x + 10
now add x to both sides and subtract 10 from both sides and set it equal to zero

Answer 11

we will do it in steps.....add x to both sides. This will cancel out the x's on the right side

Answer 12

can you just show me how to do it im having trouble

Answer 13

3y = -x + 10 (add x to both sides)
3y + x = -x + x + 10
combine like terms
3y + x = 10
now subtract 10 from both sides
3y + x - 10 = 10 - 10
combine like terms
3y + x -10 = 0
x has to be first so change the equation around...
x + 3y - 10 = 0

Answer 14

understand ?

Answer 15

yeh im writing all the steps down rite now
