Question

Write an equation of a line (in standard form) that has the same slope as the line 3x-5y=7 and the same y-intercept as the line 2y-9x=8

Answer 1

Answer:

5y - 3x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to clear and from the equation and identify the equation of the form y = mx + b

3x - 5y = 7

3x - 7 = 5y

(3x - 7)/5 = y

3/5x - 7/5 = y

m = 3/5

we have to clear and from the equation and identify the equation of the form y = mx + b

2y - 9x = 8

2y = 9x + 8

y = (9x + 8)/2

y = 9/2 x + 4

b = 4

y = 3/5 x + 4

y - 3/5 x = 4

5y - 3x = 20

Answer 2

Answer:

$3x-5y=-20$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the equation of a line in 3 different forms including slope intercept, point-slope, and standard depending on the information we have. We have two standard form equations which we will get a slope and a y-intercept from. We will convert each to slope intercept form to get the information. We will then write a new slope-intercept equation and convert to standard form.

3x-5y=7 has the same slope as the line. Let's convert.

$3x-5y=7\\3x-3x-5y=7-3x\\-5y=7-3x\\\frac{-5y}{-5}=\frac{7-3x}{-5}$

$y=\frac{3}{5}x -\frac{7}{5}$

The slope is $m=\frac{3}{5}$.

2y-9x=8 has the same y-intercept as the line. Let's convert.

$2y-9x=8\\2y-9x+9x=8+9x\\2y=8+9x\\\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{8+9x}{2}$

$y=\frac{8}{2}+\frac{9x}{2} \\y=4+\frac{9}{2}x$

The y-intercept is 4.

We take $m=\frac{3}{5}$ and b=4 and substitute into y=mx+b.

$y=\frac{3}{5}x+4$

We now convert to standard form.

$-\frac{3}{5}x+y=\frac{3}{5}x-\frac{3}{5}x+4\\-\frac{3}{5}x+y=4$

For standard form we need the coefficients of x and y to be not zero or fractions. We need integers but the coefficient of x cannot be negative. So we multiply the entire equation by -5 to clear the denominators.

$-5(-\frac{3}{5}x+y=4)\\3x-5y=-20$
