The line L has intercepts a and b on the coordinate axes. Keeping the origin fixed, the coordinate axes are rotated through a fixed angle. If the line L has intercepts p and q on the rotated axes, then `(1)/(a^(2))+(1)/(b^(2))` is equal to

A

`p^(2)+q^(2)`

B

`p^(2)-q^(2)`

C

`(1)/(p^(2))+(1)/(q^(2))`

D

`(1)/(p^(2))-(1)/(q^(2))`
