Question
Find the equation of the line: having slope 5 and making intercept 5 on the X−axis.
Solution
Since, the x-intercept of the required line is 5.
∴ it passes through (5, 0).
Also, slope(m) of the line is 5
Equation of the line in slope point form is
y – y1 = m(x – x1)
∴ the equation of the required line is
y – 0 = 5(x – 5)
∴ y = 5x – 25
∴ 5x – y – 25 = 0.
