Equation of the straight line making equal intercepts on the axes and

1.	Equation of the straight line making equal intercepts on the axes and passing through the point (2,4) is(a)17.4x-y-4=0(b) 2x ty-8 0(d) x+2y-10-0C)x+y-6=0
Answer» Let the equation of the line be x/a + y/a =1 since it passes through (2,4) 2/a +4/a = 1 6/a = 1 , this implies a = 6 Hence the equation of the line is x+y = 6

Equation of the straight line making equal intercepts on the axes and passing through the point (2,4) is(a)17.4x-y-4=0(b) 2x ty-8 0(d) x+2y-10-0C)x+y-6=0

Answer»

Let the equation of the line be x/a + y/a =1

since it passes through (2,4)

2/a +4/a = 1

6/a = 1 , this implies a = 6

Hence the equation of the line is x+y = 6
