5xy+4=9

5xy=5

xy=1

y=1/x

So this is of the form kx^(-1), this is not linear as the rate of change is not constant...only kx^1 will have a constant rate of change and be linear.

If you graph it you will see that it is exponential....definitely not a straight line :P

what is the slope-intercept form for a line that has a slope of -4/5 and passes through points (0,7)?

drek231 [11]

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{7})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies -\cfrac{4}{5} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-7=-\cfrac{4}{5}(x-0) \\\\\\ y-7=-\cfrac{4}{5}x\implies y=-\cfrac{4}{5}x+7$
