Question

How do you rewrite `y + 6 = -7/5(x+10)` in slope-intercept form?

Answer 1

`y = -7/5 x - 20`

Explanation:

Require the equation in the form `color(blue)" y = mx + c "`

where m represents the gradient (slope) and c , the y-intercept.

Rearrange the equation `y + 6 = -7/5(x + 10 ) " in this form "`

hence: y + 6 = `-7/5 x - 14`

and `y = -7/5 x - 14 - 6 rArr y = -7/5 x - 20`
