what is the slope and y-intercept of:
\n" ); document.write( "5-3y=7x
\n" ); document.write( "-2x+4-3=0
\n" ); document.write( "9x-2-(7/3)=0
\n" ); document.write( "8-(x/3)-(y/5)=0
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "Put them in slope-intercept form -- y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "m = slope
\n" ); document.write( "b = y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "That might sound complicated, but all you do is solve for y.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "5-3y=7x
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-7/3)x + 5
\n" ); document.write( "m = -7/3, b = 5
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "-2x+4-3=0
\n" ); document.write( "There's no y term in this one.
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "For all values of y, x = 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "That's parallel to the y-axis, or \"vertical\"
\n" ); document.write( "--> m is undefined, or infinite
\n" ); document.write( "Since it's parallel, it doesn't intercept the y-axis, there's on b
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "9x-2-(7/3)=0
\n" ); document.write( "Same as above, no y
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "8-(x/3)-(y/5)=0
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for y, same as #1 \n" ); document.write( "
