1. **Problem Statement:** Write the equation of a line in standard form that has x-intercept $(P,0)$ and y-intercept $(0,R)$.
2. **Recall the intercept form of a line:** The equation of a line with x-intercept $a$ and y-intercept $b$ can be written as
$$\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1$$
3. **Substitute the intercepts:** Here, $a = P$ and $b = R$, so
$$\frac{x}{P} + \frac{y}{R} = 1$$
4. **Clear denominators:** Multiply both sides by $PR$ to eliminate fractions:
$$PR \times \left(\frac{x}{P} + \frac{y}{R}\right) = PR \times 1$$
$$R x + P y = PR$$
5. **Final equation in standard form:**
$$Rx + Py = PR$$
6. **Check the options:** The correct equation matches the option:
**Rx + Py = PR**
This is the standard form of the line with the given intercepts.
