Given f(x) is a linear function with slope 3 and y-intercept -5, what is the equation of f(x) in standard form?

The standard form:

The slope-intercept form:

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have m = 3 and b = -5.

Substitute:

        subtract 3x from both sides

            change the signs

step-by-step explanation:

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
