Question

Find the slope and the y-intercept of the equation 4x + 5y = -9.

Answer 1

Hey, you are here, we are searching you at your previous post. Are you playing hide and seek with us? :P

Answer 2

Okay slope of equation of line in standard form ie \(ax + by = c\) is given by:
\[\large \color{green}{Slope = \frac{- (x \; \; coefficient)}{(y \; \; coefficient)}}\]

Answer 3

Can you tell what is the \(x\) coefficient here?

Answer 4

\[so -4/5 and 9/5 ?\]

Answer 5

-4/5 is good for slope..
Recheck for your y intercept part..

Answer 6

-4/5 and -/9/5?

Answer 7

For finding y-intercept:
1. Take 4x to other side by subtracting 4x from both the sides.
2. Divide by 5 to get equation in the form of y = mx + c, where c= y-intercept..

Answer 8

yep, -4/5 and -9/5 are good.. :)

Answer 9

thanks!

Answer 10

Answer 11

If a line crosses the y-axis at (0, 1) and has a slope of 45, what is the equation of the line?

Answer 12

You know equation of line in Slope intercept form is given as: \(y = mx + b\), m is slope and c is y-intercept..

Answer 13

If a line cuts y-axis at a point, then the y-coordinate of that points is the y-intercept and you are given slope, m = 45 already.. Can you write the equation now?

Answer 14

What is the y-coordinate of the point (0,1) ??

Answer 15

5y - 4x = 5?

Answer 16

Nope..
