Question

Write the equation in slope-intercept form. What are the slope and y-intercept?

-5x-12y=11

Answer 1

slope intercept form has the y by itself on one side
so try to get y all alone first

Answer 2

I think it is d

Answer 3

a) y = -5/12x+11/12; slope: -5/12; y-int.: 11/12
b) y = 5/12x-11/12; slope: 5/12; y-int.: -11/12
c) y = -5/12x-11/12; slope: -5/12; y-int.: -11/12
d) y = 5/12x+11/12; slope: 5/12; y-int.: 11/12

Answer 4

mmm be careful ^_^

-5x - 12y = 11
+5x +5x
-12y = 5x + 11
/-12 /-12 /-12
y = -5/12 x - 11/12

Answer 5

oh. so is it c?

Answer 6

yes :) but do you see where you got it wrong? :P

Answer 7

I accidentally thought that when you divided two negatives it would be positive.

Answer 8

well yeah, but you weren't dividing two negatives here

Answer 9

I know that's why I got it wrong hahaha sorry

Answer 10

it's alright ^_^
