Question

Identify the slope and the y-intercept of the following equation: 11x+8y=40

Answer 1

can you isolate 'y' from that equation ?
and bring it in the form of y = mx +c
?

Answer 2

i thank

Answer 3

so what you get ?
y =... ?

Answer 4

i have no idea im not good at matthh i listen but i still never gett it

Answer 5

try!

11x +8y = 40
we need to isolate the 'y'
so we need to bring 'x' on right side
so we SUBTRACT 11x from both sides,
what do u get then ?

Answer 6

8y=-11x+40

Answer 7

yes!
now to isolate 'y' we just need to get rid of that 8!
since its multiplied with 'y', we will need to DIVIDE both sides by 8
what do u get then ?

Answer 8

11x=5

Answer 9

how ? where did y go ? :O

we have
8y = -11x + 40
dividing both sides by 8 gives us

y = (-11/8)x + 40/8
which is
y = (-11/8)x+ 5

now compare that with y= mx+c
m will be = slope
and c = y-intercept

Answer 10

so the slope is (-11/8) and the y- intercept is 5

Answer 11

absolutely correct!
good :)

Answer 12

can yhu help me with more

Answer 13

ask it in a new post, so that if i am unavailable, others too can help you :)

Answer 14
