Question

A line can be defined in general form by the equation

Ax+By = C
where A, B and C are constants. You may assume that both A and B are non-zero. Then the slope of the line is , its x intercept is , and its y intercept is . Of course your answers will depend on A, B, and C.

Answer 1

isolate 'y' from
Ax+By =C

Answer 2

then compare your equation with y=mx+c
slope = m

Answer 3

To get x-intercept put y=0 in the equation
to get y-intercept put x=0 in the equation

Answer 4

so my slope would be -A/B?

Answer 5

yes.

Answer 6

then C/B would be my Y

Answer 7

correct

Answer 8

then to find x intercept i put 0 on the Y

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

then it would be -B/A?

Answer 11

no...

Answer 12

hmm

Answer 13

Ax+By =C
y=0
Ax=C
x= .. ?

Answer 14

AC

Answer 15

no...

Answer 16

C/A

Answer 17

yes

Answer 18

awsome

Answer 19

and easy :)
