Math: Find the equation of the line, and put it in standard form.

Use two points on the line to find the equation of the line, in star

Solution

the two points we can take are the x intercept and y intercept

x intercept: ( -5, 0)

y intercept : ( 0, -1)

slope = ( -1 -0)/( 0 - -5) = -1/5

Slope intercept form: y = mx +c , where c is y intercept

So, y = -x/5 -1

y = (-x -5)/5

5y = -x -5

5y +x +5 ( Standrard forn of the equation)
