Question
Drew says the equation for the line is y = 5x -3 map says the equation should be negative 5x + y = -3 who is correct and why
Answers
GPT 3.5
Both Drew and Map are correct, as their equations are equivalent.
To prove this, first, let's rewrite Drew's equation in the form of Map's equation:
y = 5x - 3
y - 5x = -3
-5x + y = -3
Therefore, both equations represent the same line. The difference lies in how they are presented. Drew's equation is in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, while Map's equation is in standard form, Ax + By = C. Both forms are valid for representing a line, and in this case, both equations are correct.
