Question 991222: Determine the standard form of the equation of the line that passes through (0,5) and (4,0)
a. -5x + 4y = -20
b. -5x - 4y = 20
c. 5x + 4y = 20
d. 4x - 5y = -20 Answer by josgarithmetic(39617) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Imagine those given points and form the slope. The standard form equation Ax+By=C will have a slope . Your slope is . You can look at your choices and eliminate (a), and (d).
Now test (b) and (c) to find which as a vertical axis intercept of 5. Look like (c) is the answer.
- ---------the choice transformed to slope-intercept form showing slope is and y-intercept 5.
