An equation in the form Ax+By=C |
2011-07-28 |
|
From Mike:
I need to write an equation in the form Ax+By=C
The points I was given are (5,0) and (-3,5)
I know how to find the slope I got -5/8 and wrote it out as y=(-5/8)x+b however I'm not quite sure where to go from here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

From Ken:
Simple way on how to convert to & from y-intercept form & Std. form.
Eg: Convert into y-intercept form: 3x+4y+7=0,
Eg.: Convert into Std. Form: y=-1/2x +3, y=50x +300. I would appreciate your
help in this matter, as I find it hard to understand.
Kind Regards: Ken

From Susan Gregson:
I am a secondary school teacher. My students and I would like to know why the letters m and b are traditionally used to stand for slope and Y-intercept in the standard form of an equation. Was this an arbitrary choice? Who made it? Are the letters from Greek ot Latin words?
