Help What Do I Do Do I Just Write Y3x5 Or Solve It class=

Sagot :

Answer:

y=-3x+5

Step-by-step explanation: Yes you have it correct. The question is asking for you to put it into an equation that fits the slope and y-intercept which is slope-intercept form. Additional note, when you have a problem like this and it doesn't say what type of equation form to put it in, put it in slope-intercept form for simplicity's sake.

Answer:

  y = -3x +5

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, do what the question asks you to do: write the equation of the line.

__

The slope and y-intercept of the line are given, so the easiest, most direct way to write the equation is to use "slope-intercept form." That form looks like ...

  y = mx + b . . . . . . where m is the slope, b is the y-inercept

You are given m = -3 and b = 5, so the equation you are asked to write can be ...

  y = -3x +5 . . . . . . this equation is the answer to the question

__

Additional comment

There are many forms of the equation for a line. Another one in common use for problems like this is the "point-slope form." You would use that one for a simple, direct answer to writing an equation for a line with a given slope through a given point.

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

If you are given the x- and y-intercepts, you can use "intercept form" to write the equation:

  x/a +y/b = 1 . . . . . for x-intercept 'a' and y-intercept 'b'

Another useful form is "standard form", which has ...

  ax +by = c . . . . where a > 0, and a, b, c are mutually prime

For example, the equation for your line could be written in standard form as ...

  3x +y = 5
