Question

: What is the equation of the line which passes through the point (-2 , -4) and has the sum of its intercept equal to 3?

Answer 1

equation of a line is mX+c (here c is the intercept of line{the point where line cuts y axis when x is zero } and m is the slope of the line .

Now,

Y=mX+c

Now put the values of X,Y and c

-4=-2m+3

This is a linear equation.

So by solving equation we get

m= 7/2

Now put the value of m in equation Y=mX+c

We will get our answer

Y=7/2(X)+3
