If the intercept of a line between the c...

If the intercept of a line between the coordinate axes is divided by the point `(-5,4)` in the ratio `1:2,` then find the equation of the line.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given `m:n = 1:2`
Let the y intercept will have coordinate (0, y) and the x intercept will have coordinate (x, 0).
By section formula,` x = (mx_2+nx_1)/(m + n)`
`y = (my_2+ny_1)/(m + n)`
