If the intercept of a line between the coordinate axes is divided by the point `(-5, 4)` in the ratio `1:2`, then find the equation of the line.
Thinking Process : Coordinates of the point which divides line segment joining `(x_1 , y_1 ) and ( x_2, y_2)` in ratio `(m_1 : m_2) ((m_1 x_2 + m_2 x_1)/( m_1 + m_2) , ( m_1 y_2 + m_2 y_1)/( m_1 + m_2))`.
