    Question

    Identify the equation of the line in general form when the slope is 0.6, and the y-intercept is 0.4

    1. 3x + 5y + 2 = 0
    2. 3x + 5y – 2 = 0
    3. 3x – 5y + 2 = 0
    4. 3x – 5y – 2 = 0

    hintHint:

    Equation of a line can be written as-
    1. y = mx + b (Slope point form, where m = slope and b = y-intercept)
    2. ax + by + c = 0 (general form)

    The correct answer is: 3x – 5y + 2 = 0

      GIVEN-
      Slope = m = 0.6
      y-intercept = b = 0.4
      TO FIND-
      Equation of the line in general form i.e. ax + by + c = 0
      SOLUTION-
      We know that equation of a line in slope point form is-
      y = mx + b
      ∴   y = 0.6 x + 0.4 ........................ (From given information)
      ∴ 5y = 0.6x * 5 + 0.4 * 5 .............. (Multiplying both sides by 5)
      ∴ 5y = 3x + 2
      ∴   0 = 3x - 5y + 2
      FINAL ANSWER-
      Option 'c' i.e. '3x - 5y + 2 = 0' is the correct answer to the given question.
