Question

Find the Standard form of the line that has a slope of -6 and y intercept of 10.

Answer 1

We have to write the standard form, Ax+By=C, of the line that has a slope m = -6 and y-intercept b = 10.

To do that we use that information to write the slope-intercept form of the equation and then rearrange it into standard form.

The slope-intercept for the line is:

`\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ y=-6x+10 \end{gathered}`

We can then rearrange it as:

`\begin{gathered} y=-6x+10 \\ 6x+y=10 \end{gathered}`

Answer: 6x + y = 10
