Question

15. Find the equation of the straight line passing through (-8, 4) and making equal intercepts on

the coordinate axes.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Equation of straight line with equal intercept are given by x+y=a

Now since it passes through (2,4), so a=4+2=6

Hence the line is x+y=6

Hope it helps Mark as brainlliest pls plspls

Answer 2

Answer:

x+y+4=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the intercept on x axis is a

then on y axis also=a

so eqn is x/a+y/a=1

or x+y=a

It passes through (-8,4)

so -8+4=a

a=-4

Thus the eqn is x+y=-4

or

x+y+4=0
