Question 400059: A linear function has the same y-intercept as x+4y=12 and its graph contains the point (5,4). Find the y-intercept and slope of the linear function.
a) y intercept= (0,3), slope= 5
b) y intercept= (0,12), slope= 1/5
c) y intercept= (0,3), slope= -1/4
d) y intercept= (0,3), slope= 1/5

Hi

 



x+4y=12   |solving for y

  y = (-1/4)x  + 3   y-intercept is Pt(0,3)

Line with same  y-intercept

 y = mx + 3   |using ordered pair Pt(5,4) to solve for m

 4 = m*5 + 3

 1/5 = m
