How do you write equation in slope-intercept form of the ine that has a slope of -5 and a y-intercept of 2?
-7
What is 4x - y equals 8 as a slope?
-4
How would you find the equation of a line if given the slope and x intercept?
If you know the slope and x-intercept, writing the equation to a line is easy. For example, if you know the x-intercept to be 3, and the slope to be 2, then you plug it into the equation y=mx+b. At the point where the line hits the x-intercept, the y-value is 0, meaning you actually have a data point (3,0). Plug this into your equation: 0=3(2)+b 0=6+b -6=b b=-6 Then you put the equation together, as you know m and b: y=2x-6
In the slope-intercept equation of a line which part of the equation gives the y-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis?
The slope intercept equation also called the y intercept equation. It isy=mx+b in which x and y are coordinates, m is the slope of the line, and b is the y-intercept. so b would be the y-coordinate that intersects the y-axis.
How do you find the slope of the tangent line to each curve at the given point?
By differentiating the answer and plugging in the x value along the curve, you are finding the exact slope of the curve at that point. In effect, this would be the slope of the tangent line, as a tangent line only intersects another at one point. To find the equation of a tangent line to a curve, use the point slope form (y-y1)=m(x-x1), m being the slope. Use the differential to find the slope and use the point on the curve to plug in for (x1, y1).
What is the slope of the line given by the equation y -2x?
y - 2x is not an equation. If that is supposed to be y = 2x then the slope is 2. Or, written as a slope, would be 2/1
What is the equation of a line passing through (-6 5) and having a slope of?
The straight line equation would depend on the slope which has not been given.
How do you write an equation in slope intercept form with a given point?
Slope Intercept form is meant for a line, so if you know the slope m in the equation y=mx+b then with a given point say (3,4) and say the slope of the line was 2 then the equation would read y=2x+4.
Which of the following is the equation of a line in slope-intercept form for a line with slope 5 and y-intercept at (0 -3)?
The equation of: y = 5x-3 would satisfy the given conditions.
How do you write equation in slope-intercept form of the ine that has a slope of -5 and a y-intercept of 2?
-7
If the equation of a line has an undefined slope and passes through the point 1 3 which form would be used to write the equation of the line?
x = 1 (the line intersects the x-axis at 1, and is parallel to the y-axis)We cannot write the equation on the Slope-intercept form, since the slope of the line is undefined. 1 is the x-coordinate of any point on the given line.
How would you explain slope?
Slope is the "steepness" of a line. If the line is on a grid, it can be calculated by dividing rise/run. If the line is given in the form of the equation y = mx + b the slope is the value of m.
What would the equation of the line in standard form when given the slope and y -intercept m 7 b -2?
The equation of a straight line is: y = mx+b whereas m is the slope and b is the y intercept
What is the equation of the slope 13?
The equation then would be y = 13x
How can you find slope and y-intercept of each equation?
A normal slope-intercept form equation would read: y = mx + b The slope of an equation is also known as 'm'. The y-intercept would count as 'b'. So in a random equation such as: y= 5x + 6 '5' would be the slope and '6' would be the y-intercept.
Write an equation of the line containing the given point and parallel to the given line. 3 -1 in parenthess 9x -7y 4 Simplify type in the from of ymx b. Thank?
This is simple algebra. You should know that parallel lines have the same slope. So you would take the slope of the line that is given to you and set it up in the equation y= mx + b. m stand for your slope and you would take the point that it gives you (3, -1) and plug it into y = mx + b (along with your slope) and solve for b..once you've solved for b, you can set up your equation because you know your slope (m) and y-intercept (b). If you are having trouble finding the slope, just solve the equation for y. Get y on one side of the equation. The number that is with x will be your slope. Good luck!
Write an equation of a line with the given slope and y-intercept m 1 b 4?
the equation is y=mx+b so this would be y=1x+4.
