Question 289950: Write an equation in standard form for a line with an x intercept of 2 and a y intercept of 5. Found 2 solutions by brucewill, Stitch:Answer by brucewill(101) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x-intercept of 2, means the point (2,0).
y-intercept of 5, means the point (0,5).
We need the slope, which is (0-5) / (2-0), or
Therefore, slope intercept form would be:
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Standard form: Y = mX + B
Now B is the Y-intercept so B = 5
Now the equation is
To find the slope of the line (m) we need to set Y = 0, and let X = 2 (The given X-intercept)
Subtract 5 from both sides Divide both sides by 2
The equation of the line is
