A straight line moves so that the sum of the reciprocals of its intercepts made on axes is constant. Show that the line passes through a fixed point. Thinking Process : For line which makes intercepts on axis (x)/(a) + (y)/( b) = 1 If (1)/( a) + (1)/( b) = constant ( (1)/(k) ) then ( k)/( a) + (k)/( b) =1 and we say if passes from point (k,k) .
