Question

standard form equation help

Answer 1

First you want identify if you must convert it from a pointslope or not?

Answer 2

ok sorry ... os is lagging

Answer 3

Ax + By = C

Answer 4

So just take the y intercept(where it crosses the y axis) and the slope at which the line is at.

Answer 5

Get your y intercept form. Then convert to standard form.

Answer 6

So the y intercept is -1, that's where it crosses the y axis

Y intercept form is: y = mx + b

Answer 7

The slope is -2/1.

You can tell because the line goes down 2 blocks, then over 1

Rise
Run

Rise over Run

Answer 8

So

y = mx + b

m is the slope

b is the y intercept

Input in what we found

You should get: y = -2/1x -1

It can also be represented as: y = -2x - 1

As -2/1 = -2

Answer 9

@Gabylovesyou It shows you as offline, so I'll just finish solving this for ya and show the steps so you can understand it when you get back on.

Answer 10

So we need to convert y = -2x - 1 into a form that shows as Ax + By = C

Answer 11

im still online...

Answer 12

This can be done by simply using "solving for the variable" methods.

First

y = -2x - 1

Add -2x to both sides

2x + y = -1

Ax + By = C

Does this form look correct to ya?

Answer 13

I meant to say, *add 2x to both sides

Answer 14

Do you get it?

Answer 15

All you have to do is read the graph, look for the y intercept and slope. Then write the y intercept form for the line, then convert it into a Ax + By = C format

Answer 16

Thank you!! :) i got it

Answer 17

C.. thanks ;p

Answer 18

Nice! :)

Answer 19

No problem!
