Find the equation to the straight line: ...

Find the equation to the straight line: cutting off intercepts 3 and 2 from the axes.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let the required equation in intercept form be `\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1`
Therefore, its x- intercept is `a` and y- intercept is `b`
It is given that `a=3` and `b=2`
Hence, the required equation is, `\frac{x}{3}+\frac{y}{2}=1`
`\implies 2x+3y=6`
