Question

find equation of the line which intercepts -3and 2 on x -and y-axis respectively

Answer 1

Answer:  Our equation will be

$2x-3y=-6$

Explanation:

Since we know that

Equation of line in intercept-form is given by

$\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1$

So, we have given that

$a = x-intercept = -3 units\\b= y-intercept= 2 units$

So, our equation becomes,

$\frac{x}{-3}+\frac{y}{2}=1$

So, if we simplified it , it becomes ,

$2x-3y=-6$
