y = mx+c where m is the slope and c is the intercept on the y axis
So: 1/3*2+c = -5
c = -5-2/3
c = -17/3
Therefore: y = 1/3x-17/3 => 3y = x-17 which can be expressed as x-3y-17 = 0

What is the straight line equation passing through points 4 and 0 when it is perpendicular to x plus 7y plus 4 equals 0?
x+7y+4 = 0 => y = -1/7x-4/7 The slope of the second equation is the reciprocal of the first equation with the minus sign changing to a plus sign. y = mx+c where m is the slope and c is the intercept on the y axis So: 7*4+c = 0 28+c = 0 c = -28 Therefore the perpendicular equation is: y = 7x-28 which can be expressed in the form of 7x-y-28 = 0
What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y 1 4(x 3) and passes through the point (4 32)?
Without an equality sign and not knowing the plus or minus values of the given terms of the line which then can't be considered to be a straight line equation. In general for lines to be parallel to each other they will both have the same slope but different y intercepts.

What is the straight line equation passing through the point -2 -3 and perpendicular to the line 4x plus 3y minus 5 equals 0?
3x-4y-6 = 0
What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to -x y 7 and passes through -1 -1?
Without an equality sign and not knowing the plus or minus values of y and 7 it can't be considered to be a straight line equation therefore finding its perpendicular equation is impossible.
What is the straight line equation when the slope is minus 0.75 passing through the point 7 and 5?
I'm guessing that you mean "passing through the point (7,5)"? Use this to find the line equation: m(x - x1) = y - y1 where x1 & y1 are the coordinates of the point, and m is the slope x1 = 7, y1 = 5, m = -0.75 -0.75 * ( x - 7) = y - 5 Solve for y: y = -0.75*x + 10.25 Note the slope is -0.75, and plug in x = 7, to check your work that y = 5
How Does a negative slope mean that the line moves up from the left to right?
It means then that the slope of the straight line equation will be minus
What is the straight line equation when the slope is 1 over 2 passing through a point 1 over 3 and minus 1 over 2 on the line?
y = mx+c So: 1/2*1/3+c = -1/2 1/6+c = -1/2 c = -1/2-1/6 c = -2/3 Therefore the straight line equation is y = 1/2x-2/3 which also can be expressed in the form of: 3x-6y-4 = 0
What is the general form of a straight line equation perpendicular to 4x plus 3y minus 5 equals 0 passing through a point minus 2 and minus 3 on the line?
Equation of original line is 4x + 3y - 5 = 0 that is, 3y = -4x + 5 or y = -(4/3)x + 5 Slope of original line = -4/3 Slope of line perpendicular to it = 3/4 General equation of perpendicular line: y = (3/4)x + c for some constant c or 4y = 3x + c' The point (-2,-3) is on this line so 4*(-3) = 3*(-2) + c' -12 = - 6 + c' so that c' = -6 The equation of the perpendicular line is 4y = 3x - 6
What is the equation of the line that passes through (1 2) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 4x y 1 0?
Without 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. But if you mean 4x+y = 10 then y = -4x+10 and the parallel equation is y = -4x+6
What is the x- intercept for the equation -2x 5y -10?
