Question

Find the equation of straight line passing through -2,4 and making non 0 intercepts whose sum to 0

Answer 1

Answer:

In intercept form eqn is x/a + y/b =1

a + b = 0

a = - b ....(1)

eqn passes through -2,4

-2/a + 4/b = 1.....(2)

put the value of a from (1) in (2)

2/b + 4/b =1

6/b = 1

b = 6

a = -6

eqn is x/(-6) + y/6 = 1

-x +y = 6 Ans
