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.
