Answer:

Hii

Step-by-step explanation:

General equation of line in intercept form is (x/a+y/b)=1………..(1)

where a,b are intercepts on the axes…

a.b=12 (given)

now satisfy the given points (-3,8) in the (1) equation

we will find that a=6 and b=2

thus equation of line is x/6+y/2=1

I hope it helps you.


mandaluditya099: sorry but the answer is a=3 , b=4 and the required equation is 4x+3y=12
