Which is the equation of the line that has an x intercept of -5?
There is not a single line, but infinitely many lines, that pass through the point (-5, 0). One thing you can do is choose some random slope, then use the equation for an equation that goes through a point and has a specified slope.
What does solving the equation for a line tell us?
A line is represented by an equation. Each solution of the equation is a point on the line, and each point on the line is a solution to the equation. So the line is just the graph of the solution set of the equation.
What equation represents a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is y=-4x+7 ?
3
What is 3x plus 2y equals 8?
3x + 2y = 8 This is an equation. It could be the equation of a line.
Can you always write the equation of a line if you know one point on the line?
You cannot define a line with a single point (a single point only defines itself). You need two points to define a line (and therefore to write the equation for it).
What is the linear equation of x equals -4 and y equals -1 over 3?
A linear equation is the equation of a line and that consists of an infnite number of points. What you have, in x = -4 and y = -1/3, is a single point. A single point is not a line and so there cannot be a linear equation (suitable for a line) to represent a point.

You can have more than one point-slope equation for a single line?
True
What is it called when a graph goes straight though the origin?
A root of the equation that defines the line graphed exists at 0.
Which is an equation of a verticle line?
A vertical line can not be defined by any normal equation, because its range is a single number that gives the x-coordinate and y can have any value whatever.
What is the answer to -x plus 3y equals -12?
-9
What has an infinite number of solutions?
A single equation in two variables is, for example. Its graph is a line, and every point on the line is a solution.
What is y equals 1x plus 6?
It is a linear equation in the two variables x and y. A single linear equation in two variables cannot be solved for a unique pair of values of x and y. The equation is that of a straight line and any point on the line satisfies the equation.
Which is the equation of the line that has an x intercept of -5?
There is not a single line, but infinitely many lines, that pass through the point (-5, 0). One thing you can do is choose some random slope, then use the equation for an equation that goes through a point and has a specified slope.
What is the ordered pair of y equals 6x-9?
15
