Question

Reduce the equation of the line 2x - 10y + 5 = 0 in intercept form and hence find the intercept
made by it on the x and y-axis.​

Answer 1

Given : equation of the line 2x - 10y + 5 = 0

To Find :  intercept form

intercept made by it on the x and y-axis.​

Solution:

intercept form  of the line is

x/a + y/b = 1

a = x intercept

b = y intercept

2x - 10y + 5 = 0

=> 2x - 10y = - 5

Dividing both sides by -5

=> 2x/(-5)  + 2y  =  1

=> x/(-5/2)  + y/(1/2)  = 1

a = -5/2  , b =  1/2

x intercept  =  - 5/2

y intercept = 1/2
