i) The coefficients of the equation of the line are a = 20 / 3 and b = 160 / 21.

ii) The equation of the line in standard form is (20 / 3) · x + (160 / 21) · y = - 20.

iii) The x-intercept and y-intercept of the line are (- 3, 0) and (0, - 21 / 8).

iv) Two alternative solutions of the equation of the line are 20 · x + (160 / 7) · y = - 60 and 140 · x + 160 = 420.

How to derive the equation of a line?

In this problem we know that form of an equation of the line and two points, on which the line pass through. i) We determine the values of the coefficients a and b by solving the following system of linear equations:

5 · a - 7 · b = - 20

- 3 · a = - 20

Whose solution is a = 20 / 3 and b = 160 / 21.

ii) The equation of the line in standard form is (20 / 3) · x + (160 / 21) · y = - 20.

iii) Now we find the coordinates of the intercepts of the line:

x-Intercept

(20 / 3) · x = - 20

x = - 3

y-Intercept

(160 / 21) · y = - 20

y = - 21 / 8

iv) We can find two alternative solutions by using multiples:

20 · x + (160 / 7) · y = - 60

140 · x + 160 = 420
