Find the equation of the straight line which passes through the point `(1-2)` and cuts off equal intercepts from axes.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
N/a
Let equation of line is
`(x)/(a)+(y)/(a)=1`
Since, this the passes through `(1-2)`.
`(1)/(a)+(2)/(a)=1`
`rArr1-2=arArra=-1`
`therefore` Required equation of the line is
`-x-y=1`
`rArrx+y+1=0`
