Question

The equation of straight passing through points (-4,6) and (8-3) is​

Answer 1

Answer:

Equation of line in intercept form is

x / a + y / b =1

where ‘a’ is x-intercept and ‘b’ is y-intercept

We are given

a = 8

So equation of line becomes

x / 8 + y / b =1 …….. (1)

Now we need to find value of b

Since (-4,6) lies on line (1)

⇒ -4 / 8 + 6 / b =1

⇒ -1 / 2 + 6 / b = 1

⇒ 6 / b = 1 + 1 / 2

⇒ 6 / b = 3 / 2

⇒ b = 4

So equation of line (1) becomes

x / 8 + y / 4 =1

Multiplying both sides by 8 we get

X + 2y = 8
