Question

The graph of a line has a slope of -7 and a y intercept of (0,0). Rewrite the equation in standard form (Ax+By=C) with a positive x-term. A,B, and C must all be interger

Answer 1

Answer:

the equation of the line is 7x + y = 0 .

Step-by-step explanation:

in the standard form of the line that is Ax +By = C we can write it in the form of

By = C - Ax

$y = \frac{-A}{B}x +\frac{C}{B}$

which is in the form of $y = mx +c$

where m is the slope of the line and c is y intercept made by the line.

comparing  $y = \frac{-A}{B}x +\frac{C}{B}$ and  $y = mx +c$

we get that $\frac{-A}{B} =m$ and $\frac{-C}{B} = c$

since it is given that slope of the line is -7 therefore m = -7 and c = 0

therefore  $\frac{-A}{B} =-7$ and $\frac{-C}{B} = 0$

therefore C = 0 , A = 7 and B = 1

therefore the equation becomes 7x + y = 0
