Question

Find an equation of the line in the form whose​ x-intercept is 15 and​ y-intercept is 3​, where​ a, b, and c are integers with no factor common to all​ three, and agreater than or equals0

Answer 1

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
