Question

Identify the form of each equation. 7x + 5y = 8 is in (select) . y − 5 = 3 (x − 9) is in (select) . y = 7x + 9 is in (select) . 8x − 9y = −2 is in

Answer 1

Answer:

Let's define all the possible forms:

slope-intercept: y = a*x + b

point-slope: y - y1 = a*(x - x1)   (where (x1, y1) is a point in the line)

standard form: a*x + b*y = c

then:

a) 7x + 5y = 8

This is in standard form.

b) y − 5 = 3*(x − 9)

This is in point slope form.

c) y = 7x + 9

This is in slope-intercept form.

d) 8x − 9y = −2

This is in standard form.
