Question

Find the slope and the y-intercept of the equation 4x + 5y = -9.

Answer 1

y = mx+b, where m = slope and b = y intercept

Answer 2

these are the answers i can chose from
A:slope = 4/5 and y-intercept = −9/5
B:slope = −4/5 and y-intercept = 9/5
C:slope = −4/5 and y-intercept = −9/5
D:slope = 4/5 and y-intercept = 9/5

Answer 3

So, what will be your answer then?

Answer 4

do like Yttrium said...put it in y = mx + b form where m is the slope and y is the y intercept.

Answer 5

B right Because of the -9

Answer 6

oops..b is the y intercept

Answer 7

@rezo, can you show us first the form y = mx + b of our given equation?

Answer 8

B is not correct

Answer 9

y=4x+5 Right

Answer 10

4x + 5y = -9
subtract 4x from both sides and what do you get ?

Answer 11

No. It's actually
y = -4x/5 - 9/5

Answer 12

So the slope is -4/5 and the y interseppt is -9/5

Answer 13

correct

Answer 14

That is Awsome thanks

Answer 15

thats what we are here for :)

Answer 16

What is the equation of a line that passes through (7, 8) and has a slope of -3?

Answer 17

It's the converse. :D

Answer 18

y - y1 = m (x-x1)
substitute the values and you can find the equation. :)
