What is the equation of the line written in standard form that passes through the point?
If the point is (a, b), and the desired slope is m, the equation is:y - b = m(x - a) If the slope is not given, you can make up any slope. If you add "b" on both sides, you would get: y = m(x-a) + b
What is the answer for the slope of -10x-5y equals -6?
- 10X - 5Y = - 6 add 10X to both sides - 5Y = 10X - 6 divide both sides by - 5 Y = - 2X + 6/5 slope(m) = - 2
How do you graph a line in slope intercept for?
1) You write the equation in slope-intercept form, if it isn't in that form already. 2) An easy way to graph it is to start with the y-intercept. For example, if the intercept is +5, you graph the point (0, 5). Then you add an additional point, according to the slope. For example, if the slope is 1/2, you go 2 units to the right, and one up, and graph a point there.
How do you find the second point when given the first point and slope?
Make the slope into a fraction. The numerator (top) is the rise - add it to the y. The denominator - bottom - is the run; add it to the x. This is your new point. Repeat as often as you wish, you can also subtract both numbers instead of adding. Make a graph, the points should all line up.
What is the slope of 5x plus 3y equals 6?
First, it would be beneficial to change the equation into slope-intercept form: (y = mx +b) 5x + 3y = 6 -5x -5x [add -5 to both sides] 3y = -5x+6 [divide everything by 3] y = -5/3x +2 Since "m" represents the slope, we can now see that the slope is equal to -5/3
