Question

please ~
A line has an x-intercept of (2,0) and a y-intercept of (0, -4)

Determine the equation of the line in Standard Form.

Answer 1

In symmetric form it is
x/2 + y/(-4)=1
Multiply to get rid of fractions,
2x-y=4
Standard form
y=2x-4
General form
2x-y-4=0

Answer 2

Also called Intercept Form! I'm delighted. I see it so rarely.

\(\dfrac{x}{2}+\dfrac{y}{-4} = 1\)
