For 2, 3, 10, 11, 12, "intercept form" works nicely. .. x/(x-intercept) +y/(y-intercept) = 1
2) x/4 +y/4 = 1 . . . . . an equation .. x + y = 4 . . . . . . . . the equation in standard form
3) x/-3 +y/1 = 1 . . . . an equation .. x -3y = -3 . . . . . . . the equation in standard form
10) x/4 +y/2 = 1 .. x +2y = 4 . . . . . . . in standard form
11) x/-3 +y/5 = 1 .. 5x -3y = -15 . . . . . in standard form
12) x/-10 +y/16 = 1 .. 8x -5y = -80 . . . . . in standard form
For the rest, the 2-point form of the equation of a line will work. For points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the line through them can be written as .. y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)*(x -x1) +y1
the building is 265.25m long and the scale is 1 inch on the drawing is equal to 25 meters of the building. To find the answer lets scale the building. If the real length of the building is 256.25 meters, then the number of inches will be: 256.25/25=10.25 inches.
