Write the equation in slope-intercept form.
-$$7 x - 5 y = 0$$
A) $y = 7 x - 5$
B) $y = - 7 x + 5$
C) $y = \frac { 7 } { 5 } x$
D) $y = - \frac { 7 } { 5 } x$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To write the equation in slope-intercept form, we need to solve for y. We can start by isolating y on one side of the equation:

\begin{align*}
7x-5y&=0\
-5y&=-7x\
y&=\frac{-7}{5}x
\end{align*}

The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Therefore, in this equation, the slope is $\frac{7}{5}$, and there is no y-intercept because the line passes through the origin (where x = 0 and y = 0). So the equation is $y = \frac{7}{5}x$.
