Help Needed!! What is the equation of this line in standard form? 9x−8y=23 8x−7y=−25 8x−9y=−23 8x−9y=23 https://prnt.sc/hjx5at

AngeI:

Hello, please give me some time to try to figure out your question cx

supdasup:

Mk thanks!

AngeI:

Hmm, so I think you have to covert them to slope intercept form and then find the correct one. Let me double check my theory.

supdasup:

Ok

AngeI:

do you know how to convert it?

supdasup:

Hehe no

AngeI:

slope intercept form is y=mx+b.

AngeI:

Here is an example

that literally gives me nothing lol

supdasup:

the first message I mean

AngeI:

lol, look at the picture and see if you understand it

supdasup:

I don't xD I've literally learned nothing about slopes and its the hardest topic in math

AngeI:

ok lol

supdasup:

Yeah so what do i do

AngeI:

9x−8y=23. then you subtract 9x from both sides getting -8y=23-9x

supdasup:

Thats it?

AngeI:

then you divide the whole thing by -8 getting some gross decimals ._.

supdasup:

xD

Logic007:

u can also use the point-slope form to form the eqn ;) \(y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\)

supdasup:

Ok, Thanks for your help guys!!

AngeI:

@Logic007 I completely forgot about that tbh x'D

supdasup:

lol

Logic007:

I didn't help much,ahaha... No prob! ;)

Logic007:

\(y=mx+b\) \(y=\frac{3--1}{\frac{1}{2}--4}x+b\) \(y=\frac{8}{9}x+b\) \(-1=\frac{8}{9}(-4)+b\) \(b=\frac{23}{9}\)

Logic007:

\(y=\frac{8}{9}x+\frac{23}{9}\)

Logic007:

Multiply 9 on both sides

Logic007:

\(9y=8x+23\)

Logic007:

\(-8x+9y=23\)

Logic007:

\(8x-9y=-23\)

supdasup:

Thanks Dude!

Logic007:

No prob! ^
