Question

Write each equation in slope-intercept form of the equation of a line. Underline the slope and circle the y-intercept in each equation.

x+3y=0
The slope-intercept form is _____

The slope is _____
The y − intercept is ( ______
,
).

Answer 1

The slope-intercept form is y= -(1/3)x

The slope is - (1/3)

The y − intercept is 0

,

Explanation:

x+3y=0

Substract x on both sides

3y= - x

Divide by 3 on both sides

y= - (x/3)x

y= -(1/3)x

Answer 2

Slope-intercept is y=-x/3

The slope is -1/3

The y-intercept is 0

Explanation:

First, we need to put this as slope-intercept for which is y=mx+b

3y=-x

y=-x/3

hope this helps!
