Find the equation of the line which cuts off intercepts 4 and -6 on the x-axis and y-axis respectively.
To Find:The equation of the line with intercepts 4 and -6 on the x-axis and y-axis respectively.
Given : Let a and b be the intercepts on x-axis and y-axis respectively.
Then,x-intercept be a = 4
y-intercept be b = -6
Formula used:
we know that intercept form of a line is given by:
= 1
= 1
-3x + 2y = -12
3x – 2y -12 = 0
Hence 3x – 2y -12 = 0 is the required equation of the given line.
