Question

Find the equation of aline whose intercept on X and Y axes are 4,-6

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x-intercept (a) = 4

y-intercept (b) = -6

As two intercepts are given, the formula to be applied is " Double intercept formulae".

So,

x/a + y/b = 1

Putting the value of a and b,

or, x/ 4 + y/-6 = 1

( taking LCM)

or, (-6x + 4y) / -24 = 1

or, -2 ( 3x -2y) = -24

or, 3x - 2y = -24/-2

or, 3x - 2y = 12

or, 3x - 2y - 12 =0 is the required equation.
