I dont get how to do; y=5/3x?

Question

Help me solve this please its Slope intercept form

Answer 1

 This is not a linear function.

 

   / is a division sign.

 

   Maybe it should have been

 

    Y = 3X + 5

 

     ( 0 , 5 ) is y- intercept

 

     ( -5/3 , 0 ) is X - intercept

 

      So connect those 2 points and extend. 

Answer 2

Hi Dalton;

y=mx+b

This is the slope-intercept formula.

 

y=(5/3)x+0

 

The slope is 5/3.

The y-intercept is 0--when x=0, y=0

 

The slope is the (change of y)/(change of x).

The slope is (y-y₁)/(x-x₁).

In other words, if we take two coordinates, this is how to represent these as the slope.

 

When y changes 5 units, x changes 3 units.

Slope is defined as rise/run.

When the line rises up 5 units, it also runs right 3 units.

 

Let's randomly select one set of coordinates...

How about (6, 10)?

 

slope=(10-y₁)/(6-x₁)

The other coordinates must be (3,5).

slope=(10-5)/(6-3)=5/3

 

Does this help?  If not, please let me know.
