5x – 7y = 70
2007-08-17 02:57:23 · 9 answers · asked by Anonymous in Science & Mathematics ➔ Mathematics
convert to format y = mx + b
7 y = 5x - 70
y = (5/7) x - 10
m = 5/7 = slope
b = -10

First, transpose the equation so that y is in terms of x
5x - 7y = 70
-7y = 70 -5x Now divide through by -7
y = -10 + 5/7 (x)
One can now see the intercept (-10) and the slope 5/7
Hope this helps

Arrange the equation in the form of y = mx + c, where m = the slope and c = the y-intercept.
-7y = -5x + 70
y = 5/7x - 10
Therefore, the slope = 5/7 ; y-intercept = -10

Put it in slope-intercept form and it's easy to see.
y = mx + b
where m = slope
b = y-intercept
5x - 7y = 70
-7y = -5x + 70
y = (-5/-7)x + (70 / -7)
y = (5/7)x + (-10)
or
y = (5/7)x - 10
slope (m) = 5/7
y-intercept (b) = -10

7y = 5x - 70
y = 5/7 x - 10
slope = 5/7
y intercept is -10

y=(5/7)x-10;which is in the form y=mx+c
so; slope=5/7
y intercept=10

Change to slope-intercept form:
y = (5/7)x - 10
Slope = (5/7)
y-int = -10

y=5/7x+10
slope is 5/7
y int is 10
