Answer:

This is done by stating descriptions of these terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Undefinable terms are terms with no formal definitions. Formal definitions are obtained when specific words are used to define a term. In mathematics, specifically, Geometry words like line, point, and plane have no definite definition, So descriptions are used to identify them.

For example, in describing a point, we note that a point has no dimensions, it is usually denoted with a capital letter, and it indicates a position. Also in a coordinate plane, it is denoted with descriptions such as (u,v). Corresponding descriptions are given of other undefinable terms.

madreJ [45]

x-intercept = (15, 0) y-intercept = (0, 3)

slope (m) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (0 - 3)/(15 - 0) = -3/15 = -1/5

Point-Slope formula: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) ; where (x₁, y₁) is one of the given points

y - 0 = (-1/5)(x - 15)

-5y = x - 15

x + 5y = 15

Answer: x + 5y = 15
