Find the equation to the straight line which passes through the point (5, 6) and has intercepts on the axes
Equal in magnitude and both positive
Given:
Here, a = b
To find:
The equation of line cutoff intercepts from the axes.
Explanation:
So, the equation of the line is
Formula used:
⇒ x + y = a
The line passes through the point (5, 6) So equation satisfy the points,
⇒ 5 + 6 = a
⇒ a = 11
Hence the equation of the line is x + y = 11
