We'll write the formula of the equation of the line that
is passing through 2 given points:
(x2 - x1)/(x - x1) = (y2
- y1)/(y - y1)
We'll identify x1 = 0, x2 = 45, y1 = 5 and
y2 = -220. We'll substitute them into the formula
above:
(45 - 0)/(x - 0) = (-220 - 5)/(y -
5)
45/x = -225/(y-5)
We'll
divide both sides by 45:
1/x =
-5/(y-5)
We'll cross multiply and we'll
get:
-5x = y - 5
We'll move
all terms to the right side and we'll use symmetric
property:
5x + y - 5 =
0
The equation of the lines that is passing
through the given points is: 5x + y - 5 = 0.
