I nedd somobody to check my equation is a general form :/

Question

alones · Answer

The slope of a line is -1/5, and the y-intercept is 5. What is the equation of the line written in general form?

alones · Answer

and i got x - 5y - 5 = 0 :/

anonymous · Answer

never heard of general form. Perhaps you mean standard form?

alones · Answer

eh i did actually in my math class but still i can't check if i'm right cuz i'm not sure

$$Ax + By + C = 0  \ General  \ Form$$

alones · Answer

yep that what i do right now

zpupster · Answer

$$Slope \ Intercept  \ Form\ \ \   y=mx + b$$

m= - 1/5
x=x
b= y-intercept = 5

plugging them in
y=-1/5x + 5      lets subtract y both sides
-1/5x + 5 -y = y-y  do the math and rearrange

alones · Answer

x - 5y - 25 = 0 this what i gor this time /

o_O I got IT NOW!!!
thx ,thx very much for explaining!!!>3
