Answer:

3x + 5y = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The given y = -3x/5 + 4 is in slope-intercept form. We are to put it into standard form, which would be Ax + By = C.

Start by eliminating the fraction representing the slope (-3/5); to do this, multiply all three terms by 5:

5y = -3x + 20

Next, rearrange the terms to resemble Ax + By = C:

3x + 5y = 20

Answer:

steeper
up (4 units)

Step-by-step explanation:

When the equation of the line is in the form ...

y = mx + b

the coefficient 'm' is the slope of the line, and the value 'b' is the y-intercept, the point on the y-axis where the line crosses.

We say the line is "steeper" when the magnitude of the slope is greater. Line B, with its slope of 7 will be steeper than line A, with its slope of 3.

the new slope is steeper

The y-intercept of line A is -3. The y-intercept of line B is +1, so it crosses the y-axis above the point where line A crosses. One could say that line B is shifted up, when referring to the y-intercept.
