Question

1. Problem: Find the equation of the straight line passing through the point (2, 3) and makin
g
non-zero intercepts on the axes of coordinates whose sum is zero.​

Answer 1

Answer:

eqn of line in intercept form x/a + y/b = 1

a + b = 0....(1)

a = -b

put x = 2 and y =3 in eqn

2/a + 3/b = 1

-2/b +3/b = 1

1/b = 1

b =1

a = -1

eqn of line = -x + y = 1
