Answer:
Intercept form [tex]\frac{x}{-5} + \frac{y}{-4} = 1[/tex]
The standard form of the equation of the line
4 x + 5 y +20 =0
Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation
Given that x-intercept (a) = -5
and y-intercept (b) = -4
Intercept form
[tex]\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1[/tex]
[tex]\frac{x}{-5} + \frac{y}{-4} = 1[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\frac{4x+5y}{-20} = 1[/tex]
4 x + 5 y = -20
Final answer:-
The standard form of the equation of the line
4 x + 5 y +20 =0
