Which of the following equations represents a line inthe x y-plane with x-intercept at (-15,0) and y-intercept at (0,-9)?
A.x/15+y/9=1
B.-x/15-y/9=1
C.x/9-y/15=1
D.-x/9+y/15=1
重点单词讲解：
equation [i'kweiʃən] n. 相等，方程(式), 等式，均衡
multiple ['mʌltipl] adj. 许多，多种多样的
slope [sləup] n. 倾斜，斜坡，斜面，斜线，斜率
答案：B
解析：
Choice B is correct. Using the points given, first findthe slope of the line:
-9-0/0-(-15) =-3/5. The y-intercept of the line is –9,so the equation of the line can be written as y=(-3/5)x-9.
Since none of the answer choices are in this form, the equation must be rewritten. First, add(3/5)x to both sides of the equation, resulting in (3/5)x+y=-9. Next, divide both sides of theequation by –9, which yields (3/5)/-9x+y/(-9)=9/-9 which can be simplified to -x/15-y/9=1.
