You can put this solution on YOUR website!
this is my problem (0,5) m=3/5
\n" ); document.write( "The slope intercept form of a line is: $\"highlight%28y=mx%2Bb%29\"$ , where m=slope and (0,b) is the y-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "Your m=3/5 and (0,b)=(0,5)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=%283%2F5%29x%2B5\"$ <--- this is the slope intercept form of your line.
\n" ); document.write( "Standard form is $\"highlight%28Ax%2BBy=C%29\"$ , where A, B, and C are integers, some books also want A to be positive.
\n" ); document.write( "So multiply your problem by the LCD to clear your fraction.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5y=5%283%2F5%29x%2B5%285%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5y=3x%2B25\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-3x%2B5y=-3x%2B3x%2B25\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-3x%2B5y=25\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-%28-3x%2B5y%29=-%2825%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x-5y=25\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Happy Calculating!!! \n" ); document.write( "
