Select the correct answer.

If a line crosses the [tex]\(y\)[/tex]-axis at [tex]\((0, 1)\)[/tex] and has a slope of [tex]\(\frac{4}{5}\)[/tex], what is the equation of the line?

A. [tex]\(4y - 5x = 5\)[/tex]
B. [tex]\(y - 4x = 5\)[/tex]
C. [tex]\(5y + 4x = 5\)[/tex]
D. [tex]\(5y - 4x = 5\)[/tex]



Answer :

To find the equation of the line that passes through the point [tex]\((0,1)\)[/tex] and has a slope of [tex]\(\frac{4}{5}\)[/tex], we start with the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line, which is

[tex]\[ y = mx + b \][/tex]

where [tex]\( m \)[/tex] is the slope and [tex]\( b \)[/tex] is the y-intercept. Given:

- Slope [tex]\( m = \frac{4}{5} \)[/tex]
- Y-intercept [tex]\( b = 1 \)[/tex]

Substitute these values into the slope-intercept form equation:

[tex]\[ y = \frac{4}{5}x + 1 \][/tex]

To convert this into the standard form [tex]\( Ax + By = C \)[/tex], we need to eliminate the fraction by multiplying every term by the denominator, which is 5, to get rid of the fraction:

[tex]\[ 5y = 4x + 5 \][/tex]

Now, we rearrange this equation to have all variables and constants on one side:

[tex]\[ -4x + 5y = 5 \][/tex]

Or, equivalently:

[tex]\[ 4y - 5x = 5 \][/tex]

So, the equation of the line in standard form is:

[tex]\[ 4y - 5x = 5 \][/tex]

Among the given choices, the correct one is:

A. [tex]\( 4y - 5x = 5 \)[/tex]

Therefore, the correct answer is:
