Question 123046: please help solve the following problems:

what is the slope of the line 5x-3y=1.
find the y intercept of the line whose equation is y= 9/4 x -11/4

find both x- intercept and the y intercept of the line given by the equation
8x - 7y + 13 = 0.
find an equation of the line that is paralledto the line y=-9x +8 and that pass through the (-1, -6).

5X-3Y=1
-3Y=-5X+1
Y=-5X/3+1/-3
Y=-5X/2-1/3 THUS THE SLOPE IS -5/3
----------------------------------------
Y=9X/4-11/4 HERE THE Y INTERCEPT=-11/4
-----------------------------------------
8X-7Y+13=0
SETTING X=0 WE GET THE Y INTERCEPT.
SETTING Y=0 WE GET THE X INTERCEPT.
8*0-7Y+13=0
-7Y=-13
Y=-13/-7
Y=13/7 THUS WE HAVE(0,13/7 FOR THE Y INTERCEPT.
8X-7*0+13=0
8X=-13
X=-13/8 THUS WE HAVE(-13/8,0) FOR THE X INTERCEPT.
THUS THE LINE EQUATION IS:
-7Y=-8X-13
Y=-8X/-7-13/-7
Y=8X/7+13/7
