Determine the standard form of the equation of the line that passes through (0, 5) and (4,0).
Solution:
The standard equation of a line is Ax + By + C = 0.
Equation of the line in two-point form is (y - y1) = [(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)] (x - x1) ------(1)
Given that line passes through (0, 5) and (4, 0)
∴ Substituting (x1, y1) = (0, 5) and (x2, y2) = (4, 0) in equation (1),
(y - y1) = [(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)] (x - x1)
(y - 5) = [(0 - 5)/ (4 - 0)] [x - 0]
(y - 5) = (-5 / 4) x
4y - 20 = -5x
5x + 4y - 20 = 0
This is the required equation of line which is in general form.
Determine the standard form of the equation of the line that passes through (0, 5) and (4,0).
Summary:
The standard form of the equation of the line that passes through (0, 5) and (4,0) is 5x + 4y - 20 = 0.
