Algebra.Com's Answer #412982 by DrBeeee(684)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Haven't heard of the point-slope form, but I'll give you the three basic forms: \n" ); document.write( "I Slope-Intercept Form is y = m*x + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept \n" ); document.write( "II Standard Form is A*x + B*y = C, where A, B, and C are constants and \n" ); document.write( "III Intercept Form is x/(x-int) + y/(y-int) = 1, where x-int is the x intercept and y-int is the y intercept. \n" ); document.write( "The third one is the easiest for you to start with because the x-int and y-int are given. Substituting them into III yields \n" ); document.write( "(1) x/(-1/9) + y/(7) = 1 \n" ); document.write( "Simplifying (1) gives us \n" ); document.write( "(2) -9*x + y/7 = 1 or \n" ); document.write( "(3) -63*x + y = 7, which is the standard form II. \n" ); document.write( "Solving (3) for y yields \n" ); document.write( "(4) y = 63*x + 7, which is the slope intercept form. \n" ); document.write( "Take your pick!\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
