Question

Write the slope intercept form of the equation for the line. A.Y=8/5x-1/2, B.Y=-5/8x+1/2, C.Y=5/8x+1/2. D. Y=8/5x+1/2

Answer 1

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form is
`y-y_(1)=m(x-x_(1)  )` where m is the slope

A. The slope is 8/5, and the -1/2 means that the point (0, -1/2) falls on the line, therefore the slope-intercept form is y+1/2=8/5(x-0) or y+1/2=8/5x

B. The slope is -5/8, and the 1/2 means that the point (0, 1/2) falls on the line, therefore the slope-intercept form is y-1/2=-5/8(x-0) or y+1/2=-5/8x

C. The slope is 5/8, and the 1/2 means that the point (0, 1/2) falls on the line, therefore the slope-intercept form is y-1/2=5/8(x-0) or y-1/2=5/8x

D. The slope is 8/5, and the 1/2 means that the point (0, 1/2) falls on the line, therefore the slope-intercept form is y-1/2=8/5(x-0) or y-1/2=8/5x
