14.Find the slope and the y-intercept. y = –5x + 3
Find the slope. –2x – 9y = –29
of what?
find the slope and the y-intercept.
y=-5x+3.
sorry I am having computer issues.
The general equation for a straight line is y = mx + b.
m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
So m = -5 from your equation and 3 is b in your equation.
Thank you I got the answer right.
To find the slope and y-intercept of a linear equation in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, you need to rearrange the equation into this form.
For the equation y = –5x + 3:
The coefficient of x, -5, represents the slope.
The constant term, 3, represents the y-intercept.
Therefore, the slope is -5 and the y-intercept is 3.
To find the slope when the equation is not in the form y = mx + b, you need to rearrange it.
For the equation –2x – 9y = –29:
First, move the constant term to the other side of the equation:
–2x – 9y + 29 = 0
Next, isolate the y term:
–9y = 2x + 29
Divide the entire equation by -9 to solve for y:
y = (-2/9)x - 29/9
Now, the equation is in the form y = mx + b.
The coefficient of x, -2/9, represents the slope.
The constant term, -29/9, represents the y-intercept.
Therefore, the slope is -2/9 and the y-intercept is -29/9.
