Question

Write an equation of the line with the given slope and the given​ y-intercept. Express the answer in standard form.


`slope (5)/(8) , y-intercept (0,(1)/(4) )`

Answer 1

5x - 8y = -2

Explanation:

m = 5/8, x = 0, y = 1/4

so y = mx + b

1/4 = 5/8(0) + b

b = 1/4

so y = 5/8x + 1/4

8y = 5x + 2

5x - 8y = -2
