Question
Reduce the following equation into slope-intercept form and find their slopes and the y-intercepts.
x + 7y = 0
Solution
The given equation is x + 7y = 0.
It can be written as
`y = 1/7"x" + 0` ..........(1)
This equation is of the form y = mx + c, where m = `-1/7` and c = 0
Therefore, equation (1) is in the slope-intercept form, where the slope and the y-intercept are `-1/7` and 0 respectively.
