Solution
The correct option is BC=3h+5 To write the equation of a straight line, we require its slope and coordinates of a point on it.
Here, point (5,0) lies on the line.
Also, the slope of the line can be found out using y2−y1x2−x1=8−51−0=3 where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) lie on the line.
Thus, the equation of the required line becomes y=5x+s
