Find the equation of the straight line passing through the origin and bisecting the portion of the line ax + by + c = 0 intercepted between the coordinate axes.

Concept Used:


The equation of the line passing through the origin is y = mx


To find:


Equation of the straight line passing through the origin and bisecting the portion of a line intercepted between the coordinate axes.


Assuming:


The line ax + by + c = 0 meets the coordinate axes at A and B.


Explanation:


So, the coordinate of A and B are A() and B (0,)


Now,


The midpoint of AB is



m


Hence, the equation of the required line is


y


ax – by = 0
