To find the equation of the straight line that passes through the point A(3, 4) and has its intercepts on the axes bisected at point A, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Intercepts Let the x-intercept be P(α, 0) and the y-intercept be Q(0, β). The line will intercept the x-axis at point P and the y-axis at point Q. ### Step 2: Use the Midpoint Formula Since point A(3, 4) bisects the segment PQ, we can use the midpoint formula. The midpoint M of a segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by: \[ ...
