The equation of the straight line is 3x + 5y = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the equation of the straight line in intercept form be ......... (1)
Where the x-intercept length is a and the y-intercept length b.
Given that a = 4 units.
Hence, the equation becomes ......... (2)
If the straight line passes through the point (-1,3) then it must satisfy the equation (2).
Hence,
⇒
⇒
Therefore, the equation of the straight line becomes
⇒ 3x + 5y = 12 (Answer)
