and my last question i have is:


The slope of the line whose equation is 5x - 3y = 4 is

5/3
4/5
-3/5

anonymous · Answer

Lets first convert this into slope intercept form that is of the form y = mx + b

anonymous · Answer

I will do the first one and u try the second one in the same way is that fine?

xmoses1 · Answer

so y=2/3x-6

xmoses1 · Answer

yeah i think i can do it :)

anonymous · Answer

Thats right :)

anonymous · Answer

So now u got the answer for first one :)

xmoses1 · Answer

ok and then same process for the second one?

anonymous · Answer

Yes exactly :)

xmoses1 · Answer

hold on my answer choices for the first Q are -2 3 6, did i forget a step?

anonymous · Answer

No U didnt u got there :) Any equation of the form y = mx + b the value of b is called as y-intercept

xmoses1 · Answer

oh oops lol

anonymous · Answer

so now in ur first one u got the equation y = 2/3x - 6 with b value as -6 which is ur y-intercept

xmoses1 · Answer

but i would have to make it a positive 6 though

anonymous · Answer

No it is negative 6 only Its not mandatory for u to make it positive

xmoses1 · Answer

oh ok thank you:)

anonymous · Answer

y = mx + b is the standard form and b can be either negative or positive

anonymous · Answer

yw :)
