Question

The slope of a line is -1/3, and the y-intercept is 10/3.

What is the equation of the line written in general form?



10x + 3y - 1 = 0

x + 3y + 10 = 0

x + 3y - 10 = 0

Answer 1

First convert it into the slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b where m= slope and y-intercept

what u get?

Answer 2

I got -1/3 + 10/3 but that doesn't make any sense.

Answer 3

y = mx + b plug in -1/3 for m and 10/3 for b

Answer 4

y = -1/3x + 10/3.

Answer 5

yeah... now we need to make rearrangements and convert it to the Standard form which is:

ax + by + c = 0
