If the coordinates of the middle point of the portion of a line interceptecd between the coordinate axes is `(3,2)`, then the equation of the line will be

A

`2x+3y=12`

B

`3x+2y=12`

C

`4x-3y=6`

D

`5x-2y=10`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Since, the coordinate of the middle point are P (3,2)
`therefore 3=(1.0+1.a)/(1+1)`
`rArr 3=(a)/(2)rArra=6`
Similarly, `b=4`
`therefore` Equation of the line is `(x)/(6)+(y)/(4)=1`
`rArr2x+3y=12`
