Q1 of 319 Page 23

Find the equation to the straight line

cutting off intercepts 3 and 2 from the axes.

Given:


Here, a = 3, b = 2


To find:


The equation of line cutoff intercepts from the axes.


Explanation:


So, the equation of the line is


Formula used:



⇒ 2x + 3y =6


Hence the equation of line cut off intercepts 3 and 2 from the axes is 2x + 3y = 6
