Question

2.
Find the slope and intercept of straight line
√3x +9y = 3.
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Pulling out like terms

1.1     Pull out like factors :

  3x - 9y - 3  =   3 • (x - 3y - 1)

Equations which are never true:

2.1      Solve :    3   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Equation of a Straight Line

2.2     Solve   x-3y-1  = 0

Tiger recognizes that we have here an equation of a straight line. Such an equation is usually written y=mx+b ("y=mx+c" in the UK).

"y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.
