Question

find the equation of a line whose X intercept is 6 and Y intercept is minus 4

Answer 1

Hi ,

********************************************
Equation of a line whose x - intercept

= a and y - intercept = b is

x /a + y / b = 1

*****************************************

Now ,

According to the problem given,

a = 6 , b = -4

Required equation is

x / 6 + y / ( -4 ) = 1

x /6 - y/4 = 1

( 2x- 3y ) /12 = 1

2x - 3y = 12

I hope this helps you.
