Or y = ¾ x + 10 / 4 Thus slope is ¾ , comparing this with y = mx + c form X & y intercept form is x / a + y / b = 1 , lets rewrite our equation in this form 3x – 4y + 10 = 0 or 3x – 4y = - 10 or -3/ 10 x + 4 / 10y = 1 ( dividing both side by -10) or x / ( -10/ 3 ) + y / ( 5 / 2 ) = 1 Thus x intercept a = -10/ 3 & y intercept b = 5 / 2
Distance of a point from of a line
Distance of Point P ( x1 , y1 ) from line Ax + By + C = 0 is Distance d .
Numerical : Find the distance of the point ( 3 , – 5 ) from the line 3x – 4y – 26 = 0 .
Solution : Distance of Point P ( x1 , y1 ) from line Ax + By + C = 0 is Distance d . Here x1 = 3 & y1 = -5
