The equation for a line in standard form, or slope-intercept form, is
To convert the equation
-
Divide both sides of the equation by 10:
#(10y)/10=-(6x)/10 - 9/10#
#y=-(6x)/10 - 9/10# -
Reduce
#-(6x)/(10)# to#-(3x)/(5)# , and you will get the equation in standard form:#y = -3/5x - 9/10# .
The slope (
Graphically, this is what the function looks like:
Usually, if the question asks where does a line intersect the y-axis or the y-intercept, it is usually written in terms of a point on a graph where x = 0.
In this equation, the point is
