Question

Put the equation $\frac{\text{x}}{\text{a}}+\frac{\text{y}}{\text{b}}=1$ to the slope intercept form and find its slope and y-intercept.

✓

Answer

$\frac{\text{x}}{\text{a}}+\frac{\text{y}}{\text{b}}=1$The slope intercept form is
$\text{y}=\text{mx}+\text{c}$ $\frac{\text{x}}{\text{a}}+\frac{\text{y}}{\text{b}}=1$ $\text{bx}+\text{ay}=\text{ab}$ $\text{ay}=-\text{bx}+\text{ab}$ $\text{y}=\frac{-\text{bx}}{\text{a}}+\text{b}$ Thus y-intercept is b. Slope $=\frac{\text{-b}}{\text{a}}$
