Question

The equation of a straight line can be written in the

Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(a)

3x + 2y - 8 = 0 ( subtract 3x - 8 from both sides )

2y = - 3x + 8 ( divide the terms by 2 )

y = - $\frac{3}{2}$ x + 4

(b)

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - $\frac{3}{2}$ x + 4 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope ( gradient) m = - $\frac{3}{2}$ and

(c)

c = 4

That is crosses the y- axis at (0, 4 )
