The equation to the line bisecting the join of (3,-4) and (5,2) and having intercepts on the x-axis and y-axis in the ratio of 2:1 is:

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`x=(3+5)/2=4 and y=(2-4)/2=-1`
Point P(4,-1)
x intercept=2a and y intercept=a
general formula
`x/a+y/b=1`
`x/(2a)+y/a=1-(1)`
Putting point P
`4/(2a)-1/a=1`
