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 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

What is the x- intercept for the equation -2x 5y -10?

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
