Line Equation Ba17Ac
1. **State the problem:** Find the equation of the line passing through points $(0,3)$ and $(5,0)$ and write it in standard form.
2. **Find the slope $m$ using the formula:**
$$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{0 - 3}{5 - 0} = \frac{-3}{5}$$
3. **Use point-slope form with point $(0,3)$:**
$$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$$
$$y - 3 = -\frac{3}{5}(x - 0)$$
$$y = -\frac{3}{5}x + 3$$
4. **Convert to standard form $Ax + By = C$:**
Multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction:
$$5y = -3x + 15$$
Rearranged:
$$3x + 5y = 15$$
5. **Interpretation:** The standard form equation of the line is $3x + 5y = 15$.
**Final answer:** $3x + 5y = 15$
