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

D

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