Question

Consider the straight line
$5x - 2y - 10 = 0$
(a) Find slope of the line.
(b) Find the X-intercept and Y-intercept.
(c) Find the co-ordinates of the foot of the perpendicular from the point (1,2) to this line.

​

Answer 1

Answer:

This is the slope of line [2x-5y-0=10]

Answer 2

equation of line ___

5x - 2y - 10 =0

2y = 5x-10

y = 5/2 x -10/2

on comparing this equation to the y= mx +c

slope m = 5/2

y intercept = -5

as

5x-2y = 10

5x/10 -2y/10 = 1

x/2 + y/(-5) = 1

so X intercept = 2
