Question

Given the equation of the line -3x + 5y = 8,find slope,x-intercept and y-intercept.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{3}{5} \: \: \:$

Step-by-step explanation:

$equation \: of \: a \: line \: is \: \\ y = mx + c \: \: \: \: where \: m \: is \: slope$

$so \: \:5 y \: = 3 x + 8$

$y = \frac{3x}{5} + \frac{8}{5}$

$so \: slope \: \: is \: \frac{3}{5}$

x intercept, at y=0

$x = \frac{ - 8}{3}$

$y \: intercept \: \: at \: x = 0$

$y = \frac{8}{5}$
