Question

What is the equation of a straight line passing through x+2y=2 cutting intercepts with the axes equal in magnitude and opposite in sign?​

Answer 1

Answer:

eqn of the line making equal and opp intrrcepts with axis is

x/a - y/a = 1.......(1)

This line cuts x + 2y = 2

So a - 2a = 2

a = -2

So (1) becomes

x/2 - y/2 = 2

or x - y = 2 Ans
