Question

What is an equation in standard form of the line that has x-intercept 1 and y-intercept 4?

Answer 1

4x +y = 4

Explanation:

The intercept form of the equation for a line is ...

x/x-intercept +y/y-intercept = 1

For the given intercepts, this is ...

x/1 +y/4 = 1

Multiplying by 4 gives the standard-form equation:

4x +y = 4
