wat is the slope and y intercept of this y=5-x/10?

Answer 1

Y = 5 X = 10

If you have a scientific calculator, it is easy to find any slope.

Consider it as a Right Triangle The Slope is the Hypotenuse. when you work the X axis with the Y axis.
X is horizontal and Y is vertical,

You could use the theorem of Pythagoras

Take the square root of{X (squared) + Y (squared)}

That would be the square root of (100 + 25)

The square root of 125 = 11.18 Ans.

In Trigonometry: The slope is termed "Z"

Tangent = Y/X Tangent = .5

From the Tangent we can find the Angle by using the Inverse Tangent, Either from a set of tables or a Scientific Calculator.

The angle is 26.56 Deg.

Then we find the sine of the angle.

Sine of 26.65 Degrees = .4472

Cosine of 26.65 = .8944

The Sine relates to Y and Z

The Cosine relates to X and Z

Z may be found by dividing y by the Sine

or it may be found by dividing X by the Cosine

Doing it both ways, will prove the problem.

By Sine: Z = 5/.4472 Z =11.18

:: Z = By Cosine: Z = 10/.8944 Z = 11.18

There is your slope: 11.18 found by three different methods.

They really should be teaching Logarithms also, It is a part of living.

We hear changes in sound intensity logarithmically and also changes in Light intensity.

Answer 2

normally th equation of a linear line is y = mx + c. in which m is the slope and c is the y intercept. to get this from your equation re- arrange in the same order. so it willl be y =-x/10+5.

From ur equation m (the slope) = -1/10

and c (y-intercept) = 5

Answer 3

y = mx + c
c = 5 and m = -1/10
y intercept is 5 and slope is -1/10

Answer 4

Just rearrange the right side so it looks like this:
y = mx + b

In other words, turn -x/10 into (-1/10)x, then reverse the two.
y = (-1/10)x + 5

Now just read off the values.
slope (m) = -1/10
y-intercept (b) = 5

Answer 5

slope = -1/10
y intersept = 5
