In the xy-coordinate system, line k passes through points (-5m, 0) and (0, 2m). Which of the following is a possible equation of line k?
A. y = -5/2*x + 2m
B. y = 2/5*x - 5m
C. y = 5/2*x + 2m
D. y = 2/5*x + 2m
E. y = -2/5*x - 5m
Kudos for a correct solution.
Method 1:
USE OPTIONS
Correct option will satisfy both the given points (-5m, 0) and (0, 2m)
A. y = -5/2*x + 2m
Checking point (0, 2m) --- at x=0, we get y = 2m so a possible answer
Checking point (-5m, 0) --- at y=0, we get x is NOT equal to -5m so a NOT a possible answer (Ruled Out)
B. y = 2/5*x - 5m
Checking point (0, 2m) --- at x=0, we get y is NOT equal to 2m so a NOT a possible answer (Ruled Out)
C. y = 5/2*x + 2m
Checking point (0, 2m) --- at x=0, we get y = 2m so a possible answer
Checking point (-5m, 0) --- at y=0, we get x is NOT equal to -5m so a NOT a possible answer (Ruled Out)
D. y = 2/5*x + 2m
Checking point (0, 2m) --- at x=0, we get y = 2m so a possible answer
Checking point (-5m, 0) --- at y=0, we get x = -5m so THE CORRECT ANSWERE. y = -2/5*x - 5m
Checking point (0, 2m) --- at x=0, we get y is NOT equal to 2m so a NOT a possible answer (Ruled Out)
