Review: Equation of Line L


Explanation

In this question, the line crosses the axes at (0, 3) and (5, 0). Therefore, both of those cases should work in the correct answer choice. We can try (0, 3) first by plugging into the answer choices. Choice (B) works and (D) works, but the other equations yield falsehoods. Testing the second case on (B) and (D), , only (B) works.

The correct answer is (B).
