Question

What is an equation of the line in slope-intercept form?

m = two-sevenths and the y-intercept is (0, –12)

Answer 1

u knw wat a slope intercept form for a line is ?

Answer 2

isn't it that line that curves?

Answer 3

slope intercept form, is just an equation, as the question says

Answer 4

here is the slope intercept form :-

y = mx + b

Answer 5

m = slope
b = y-intercept

Answer 6

just plug the given info into that :)

Answer 7

so I would jst flip it around?

Answer 8

m = two-sevenths and the y-intercept is (0, –12)


m = 2/7, b = -12

Answer 9

so I just take out the 0?

Answer 10

slope intercept form :-

y = mx +b

plug the values,

y = 2/7 x - 12

Answer 11

we're done. i was not following wat u saying sorry lol -_-

Answer 12

thought, if i showed u the complete working, u wud understand the glaringly obvious thing ;)

Answer 13

Thats ok. I have another question like this one..but it is (8, –8); slope: 3 and another one
y = –1.7x + 8.5 would I do the same to these two as well?

Answer 14

Yes, and it helped thank you for showing me

Answer 15

write the complete question

Answer 16

it is (8, –8); slope: 3

Answer 17

What is the equation of the given line in standard form? Use integer coefficients.

y = –1.7x + 8.5


What is an equation of the line, in point-slope form, that passes through the given point and has the given slope?
point: (8, –8); slope: 3

Answer 18

ohkay, i forgot how a standard form looks like for a line,
can u google and get me, the "Standard Form of Line"

Answer 19

yes

Answer 20

ty il wait :)

Answer 21

Standard Form: the standard form of a line is in the form Ax + By = C where A is a positive integer, and B, and C are integers.

Answer 22

Ahh yes... standard form is :-
Ax + By = C

Answer 23

given equation :-
y = –1.7x + 8.5

Answer 24

what should be our first step to change it to Standard form.. any guess ? :)

Answer 25

add -1.7 to 8.5?

Answer 26

yup, add -1.7x to both sides. DONT IGNORE THE X

Answer 27

1.7y and 10.2

Answer 28

y = –1.7x + 8.5


add 1.7x both sides

y + 1.7x = 8.5

1.7x + y = 8.5

Answer 29

you cant add apples and oranges

Answer 30

you cant add 1.7x to 8.5

Answer 31

below complete working for converting it to standard form :-

y = –1.7x + 8.5


add 1.7x both sides

y + 1.7x = 8.5

1.7x + y = 8.5

multiply 10 thru out

17x + 10y = 85

Answer 32

Now does it look like Ax + By = C ?

Answer 33

yes and it looks like one of the aswers too

Answer 34

cool /

Answer 35

thank you for the help, once again :)

Answer 36

np :) u able to do the other problem ?

Answer 37

yes

Answer 38

good :)
