Question

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line with an x-intercept of 6 and a y-intercept of 5.

Answer 1

@Secret-Ninja

Answer 2

I think you already asked this one before....

Answer 3

idk but i need help what isthe formula

Answer 4

For slope:

(y-y1) = m
(x-x1) = m

Standard slope form:

y=mx+b

Answer 5

x-intercept of 6 = (6, 0)
y-intercept of 5 = (0, 5)

Answer 6

ok thank you

Answer 7

No problem. :)

Answer 8

so m=6?

Answer 9

Actually, its 6/5 which is 1.2 in decimal form

Answer 10

If you subtract 0 it stays the same.

Answer 11

A. y = 6x + 5
B. y = -5/6 x + 5
C. y = -6x + 5
D. y = 5/6 x + 5

Answer 12

so its not a or c

Answer 13

so d?

Answer 14

confused now .-.

Answer 15

is it d or not

Answer 16

Here is the explanation from the beginning.
The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is:
\(y = mx + b\), where m is the slope, and b is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept.
You are given the intercepts, so using those two points, you can find m, the slope.
\(m = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \)

Answer 17

The x-intercept gives you point: (6, 0)
The y-intercept gives you point: (0, 5)
Now we find the slope: \(x = \dfrac{0 - 5}{6 - 0} = - \dfrac{5}{6}\)

Answer 18

is it d? and ok its b?

Answer 19

Now that we have the slope, and we know the y-intercept is 5, we just use the slope-intercept equation and plug in our values:
\(y = mx + b\)
\(y = -\dfrac{5}{6}x + 5\)

Answer 20

BTW, two responses above, I meant to write m = the fraction of the slope, not x.

Answer 21

i under stand but is b correct???
