Question

The line 6 x + 8 y + 1 = 0 makes intercepts p , q on co-ordinate axes. The value of p + q is

Answer 1

Answer:

p + q = -7/24

Step-by-step explanation:

• 6x + 8y +1 = 0
• 6x + 8y = -1
• ( 6x/-1 ) + ( 8y/-1 ) = 1
• { x/(-1/6) } + { y/(-1/8) } = 1
• x / p + y / q =1
• p = -1/6 , q = -1/8
• p + q = -1/6 - 1/8
• = ( -3 -4/ 24)
• p + q = -7/24
