Answer 4

Please follow @tkhunny's answer from your previous question...

Anytime you are given the slope (or a hint about the slope) and the y-intercept, the Slope-Intercept is normally the way to go.

A) 10x + 3y - 1 = 0
B) x + 3y + 10 = 0
C) x + 3y - 10 = 0

Move the constant with subtraction.

A) 10x + 3y = 1
B) x + 3y = -10
C) x + 3y = 10

Move the x-term with subtraction.

A) 3y = -10 x + 1
B) 3y = -x - 10
C) 3y = -x + 10

Isolate the the 'y' and produce the final Slope-Intercept Form.

A) y = -(10/3) x + 1/3
B) y = -(1/3)x - 10/3
C) y = -(1/3)x + 10/3

Identify the parts

A) y = -(10/3) x + 1/3 <== Slope: -10/3 and y-intercept 1/3
B) y = -(1/3)x - 10/3 <== Slope: -1/3 and y-intercept -10/3
C) y = -(1/3)x + 10/3 <== Slope: -1/3 and y-intercept 10/3

Find the one that fills all the requirements.

Be deliberate and systematic. No need to guess or wonder.

Answer 5

Please do not just ask for quick answers. It is important that you understand the process so that you can do the questions on your own.

Answer 6

not really much chance of anyone answering

The slope of a line is -, and the y-intercept is 5. What is the equation of the line written in general form?

in any case

Answer 7

im in summer school just trying to make up credits from freshman year, and I'm a senior now, I'm just worried about getting it done before monday! @quietus

Answer 8

ok i will say it once more and then disappear
this is what you wrote

The slope of a line is -, and the y-intercept is 5. What is the equation of the line written in general form?

missing something?

Answer 9

ohhhhh the slope of the line is -1/5 @satellite73

Answer 10

actually the slope isn't very important in this case because its a multiple choice question. As long as you know its negative, it means that x is negative.

Answer 11

and knowing that x is negative, A and B are immediately ruled out.
