Answer:
In centimeters, it would be 40.64 centimeters.
You need to use the cosine for this and this is how you do it.
The slope (m) and the ordered pairs are given.
In order to arrive at the standard form : AX + BY = C, we need to form the slope-intercept form first : y = mx + b
Substitute the values in order to get the intercept (b)
y = mx + b
5 = 5/4 * 4 + b
5 = 5 + b
b = 0
So given the m = 5/4, b = 0
y = mx + b
y = 5/4x+ 0
Converting it to Standard Form
y = 5/4x + 0
5/4x - y = 0 (multiply both sides by 4)
5x - 4y = 0
<span>So the Standard form is 5x - 4y = 0</span>
Hope this is what you were looking for:)
