Question #f1064

Answer 1

It depends upon which variable you want to be the independent variable (see below).

Explanation:

Typically the slope intercept form for a linear equation with dependent variable `y` and independent variable `x` is
`color(white)("XX")y=color(green)mx+color(red)b`
with `color(green)m` being the slope
and `color(red)b` being the y-intercept.

Given `s+g=10`
we could write this as:
#{: (s=color(green)(""(-1))g+color(red)(10),color(white)("xx")orcolor(white)("xx"),g=color(green)(""(-1))s+color(red)(10)), ("with",,), (" slope "= (color(green)(-1)),," slope " = (color(green)(-1))), (" "s"-intercept "=color(red)(10),," "g"-intercept "=color(red)(10)) :}#
