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 happens to a line as its slope is incrementally changed from zero to undefined?

The line rotates anti-clockwise, from a horizontal to a vertical position.


What happens to a line when the intercept is changed?

If the slope remains the same then the new and old lines are parallel. The whole line moves either up or down.


What happens to a line when y-intercept is changed?

It moves higher or lower on the plane, while remaining parallel to the original.


What happens when y equals x is changed to y equals x plus 2?

The whole line 'shifts up' by two units, and is parallel to the original line (same slope)


What happens to the line y equals -6x-2 when it is changed to y equals -6x plus 6?

It is translated upwards by 8 units.


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.


How has the assembly line changed over the years?

it changed by... well it changed... It just changed!


What happens when the line y x is changed to y x 2?

If you mean: y = x and y = x+2 then the lines are then parallel to each


What happens to a product if the factors are changed?

Nothing happens.


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)]
