What are the slope and yintercept of line 5x 10y 15?

Without the inclusion of an equality sign and not knowing the plus or minus values of the given terms it can't be considered to be a straight line equation


How do you write an equation of a line that passes through the xintercep and yintercept?

You can write it either in standard form (ax + by = c) or in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b)


What is the slope and yintercept of y plus 4x plus 3?

There is no slope nor intercept because there is no equation, simply an expression.


What is a slope used for?

It shows the relationship of y in terms of x. [y = (yIntercept) + ((slope)*(x))] [slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)]


What would the equation of a line be if it went through the point 2 comma 2 and its yintercept was 10?

We know that the line passes through points (2, 2) and (0, 10) (since the y-intercept is 10).Using these two points, we can find the slope of the line,m = (10 - 2)/(0 - 2) = 8/-2 = 4/-1 = -4.Now by using the slope, m = -4, and the y-intercept, 10, we can write the equation of the line in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b which isy = -4x + 10.

Solve my homework problemIt's about using slope intercept form One problem is 2y equals 8x-2?

I shall do this one , but you must do the rest otherwise you will not learn. 2y = 8x - 2 is the given eq'n/ The straight line form is y = mx + c'. 'm' is the slope/gradient of the line 'c' is the y-intercept. So divide both sides by '2' ; this will result in 'y = ' Hence y = (8/2)x - 2/2 y = 4x - 1 is the straight line form of y = mx + c. So the slope is m = 4 The y-intercept is c = -1 NB for all linear equations this is the method. NNB Linear eq'n may appear in various forms. 2y = 8x - 2 2y - 8x = -2 2y - 8x + 2 = 0 y - 4x + 1 = 0 etc., So you need to algebraically rearrange into the y = mx + c form However, if there are powers of 'x' or 'y' it is NOT a straight line. Hope that helps!!!!

Do you wait in line or online?

If there is an actual physical line on the floor, and you are on it, then you are on line. If you are in a line of people, you are in line. If you are in a line of people, and also standing on a physical line on the floor, then you are both in and on line. If there is a group of people, standing in a line, and you are standing on top of the group of people standing in line, then you are standing on line.
