How do you rewrite equations in slope intercept form ?

1 answer:

3 0

Slope intercept form is y = mx+b, so you can see that you set the equation equal to y. So if the equation is 2y+3x=6, then you solve for y to put it in slope intercept form.
2y + 3x = 6
2y = -3x + 6
y = (-3/2)x + 3

Keep in mind that the term with the x has to be before the constant, so it can't be y = 3 -(3/2)x

And by the way m is the slope and b is y-intercept, so in <span>y = (-3/2)x + 3, -3/2 is slope and (0,3) is y-intercept</span>

What are the coordinates of the vertex for f(x) = x2 + 4x + 10?

Nady [450]

F(x) = x² + 4x + 10

f(x) - 10 = x² + 4x

perfect square:
x² + 4x + 4 ⇒ (x + 2)²

(x + 2)² = x(x+2) + 2(x+2) = x² + 2x + 2x + 4 = x² + 4x + 4

f(x) - 10 + 4 = x² + 4x + 4
f(x) - 6 = (x+2)²
f(x) = (x+2)² + 6

If a line includes the points (8,0) and (20,12). What is its equation in slope-intercept form?

aev [14]

The slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b$

m - slope

b - y-intercept

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

substitute the coordinates of the points (8, 0) and (20, 12) to the formula:

$m=\dfrac{12-0}{20-8}=\dfrac{12}{12}=1$

y = 1x + b = x + b

Put the coordinates of the point (8, 0) to the equation of a line:

0 = 8 + b <em>subtract 8 from both sides</em>

-8 = b

<h3>Answer: y = x - 8</h3>
