(5,4) and (0,2)

Question

find the slope
state the x and y intercepts
put in to standard form.

Answer 1

Let the points are .

Slope .

Point - slope form of line equation: .

Cross multiplication.

Apply distributive property: .

Add 20 to each side.

Subtract 2x from each side.

Divide each side by 10.

The above equation in the intercept form of line equation: .

Therefore a = x - intercept = and b = y - intercept = 2.

The slope , x - intercept is , y - intercept is 2 and the standard form of line equation is .
