Question : 26
Total: 74
Find the equation of a line that cuts off equal intercepts on the coordinate axes and passes through the point (2, 3).
Solution:
Let the required line make intercepts a on the x-axis and y-axis.
Then its equation is
+
⇒ x + y = a ... (i)
Since (i) passes through the point (2, 3), we have
2 + 3 = a ⇒ a = 5
So, required equation of the line is
+
= 1 ⇒ x + y = 5
Then its equation is
⇒ x + y = a ... (i)
Since (i) passes through the point (2, 3), we have
2 + 3 = a ⇒ a = 5
So, required equation of the line is
