question 33

Multiple Choice

Use the intercept form to find the equation of the line with the given intercepts. The intercept form of the equation of a line with intercepts $( a , 0 ) \text { and } ( 0 , b ) \text { is }$ $\frac { x } { a } + \frac { y } { b } = 1 , a \neq 0 , b \neq 0$
Point on line: $( - 8,3 )$
$x$ -intercept: $( c , 0 )$
$y$ -intercept: $( 0 , c ) , \quad c \neq 0$

• A) \(- x - y - 5 = 0\)
• B) \(- x + y - 5 = 0\)
• C) \(x + y - 3 = 0\)
• D) \(x + y - 5 = 0\)
• E) \(x - y - 5 = 0\)
