A line `L` has intercepts `a` and `b` on the coordinate axes, when the axes are rotated through an angle `theta` keeping the origin fixed, the same line `L` has intercept `p` and `q`

A

`a^(2)+b^(2)=p^(2)+q^(2)`

B

`(1)/(a^(2))+(1)/(b^(2))=(1)/(p^(2))+(1)/(q^(2))`

C

`a^(2)+p^(2)=ddot(b)^(2)+q^(2)`

D

`(1)/(a^(2))+(1)/(p^(2))=(1)/(b^(2))+(1)/(q^(2))`
