Question

find the equation of the straight line passing through the (-2,4) and making non zero intercepts whose sum is zero

Answer 1

X square + 2 x minus 8

Answer 2

Answer :

Equation of line in the intercept form of x/a+y/b=1

But given a=–b and b=–a

Equation of the line is x/a+y/b=–1

x-y=a

Given this is passing through (-2,4)

–2–4=a

a=–6

Equation of lin3 is x–y=–6

x–y=–6
