Question

Complete the equation for the standard form of the line that has an x-intercept of -5 and a y-intercept of -4.

Answer 1

Answer:

Intercept form     $\frac{x}{-5} + \frac{y}{-4} = 1$

The standard form of the equation of the line

   4 x + 5 y +20 =0

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation

Given that x-intercept (a) = -5

and y-intercept (b) = -4

Intercept form

                 $\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1$

                $\frac{x}{-5} + \frac{y}{-4} = 1$

          ⇒   $\frac{4x+5y}{-20} = 1$

                4 x + 5 y = -20

Final answer:-

The standard form of the equation of the line

               4 x + 5 y +20 =0
