Find the slope, x-intercept, and y-intercept for the line 1 x - 5 y + 11 = 0?
Answer:
a) Via Slope intercept form y=mx%2Bb, where m=Slope:
Re-arranging eqn:
1x-5y%2B11=0----->5y=1x%2B11
cross%285%29y%2Fcross%285%29=%281x%2B11%29%2F5--->y=highlight%28%281%2F5%29%29x%2B%2811%2F5%29, Slope=1/5
b) X-Intercept:
F%28y%29=0
1x-5%280%29%2B11=0
highlight%28x=-11%29
c) Y -Intercept: In eqn y=%281%2F5%29x%2Bhighlight%28%2811%2F5%29%29, Y-intercept=11/5
f%28x%29=0
1%280%29-5y%2B11=0
cross%285%29y%2Fcross%285%29=-11%2F5--->highlight%28y=11%2F5%29
To check, we see the graph:
