Question

a line has an x intercept of 8 and a y intercept of 12. write an equation for the line

Answer 1

Answer:

x intercept (a) =8 and

y intercept (b) = 12

The equation for the line is given by:

x/a + y/b = 1

or, x/8 + y/12 = 1

or, 3x + 2y/24 = 1

or, 3x + 2y = 24 ..is the required equation.

Hope it helps you
