Question

For these two problems, you would need to find the slope and y intercept and then write the equation in equivalent to ax + by + c.


y=3x

y=0

Please help and explain how to do it. Thank you

Answer 1

do you Know the equation y=mx+b
if you dont, which you should
m is the slope b is the y intercept
both of the equations above are in this format but it may help in i write them like this for you

y=(3/1)x+0 interscts at the orign slope 3/1 (rise over run)line will slant like this /

y=0x+0 this line would be equivalent to the x axis

as for changing them to ax+by+c

y=3x subtract 3x from bot sides
y=0 subtract 0 from both sides

simple algebraic manipulating of the terms

Answer 2

ooh i get it thank you for explaining and i do know the slope intercept form
