Find the equation of a straight line par...

Find the equation of a straight line parallel to `2x+3+11=0` and which is such that the sum of its intercepts on the axes is `15.`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Line parallel to `2x+3y+11=0 is
2x+3y+c=0 ---(1)`
So, x-intercept `=(-c)/2​`(put y=0)
y-intercept `= (-c)/3​`(put x=0)
As given `(−c​)/2+(−c​)/3=15`
`=>(−5c)/6=15`
`=>c=−18`
