The equation of the line in standard form is x + 4y = 8
<h3>How to determine the line equation?</h3>
From the question, the points are given as
(0, 2) and (8, 0)
To start with, we must calculate the slope of the line
This is calculated using
Slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
Where
(x, y) = (0, 2) and (8, 0)
Substitute the known parameters in Slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
So, we have
Slope = (0 - 2)/(8 - 0)
Evaluate
Slope = -1/4
The equation of the line can be calculated using as
y - y₁ = m(x + x₁)
Where
(x₁, y₁) = (0, 2)
and
m = slope = -1/4
Substitute the known values in the above equation
So, we have the following equation
y - 2 = -1/4(x - 0)
This gives
y - 2 = -1/4x
Rewrite as
1/4x + y = 2
Multiply by 4
x + 4y = 8
Hence, the line has an equation of x + 4y = 8
