Find the equation of the line which cuts...

Find the equation of the line which cuts off an intercept 4 on negative direction of x-axis and an intercept of 2 on positive direction of y-axis.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, `a=-4,b=2`
`therefore` The equation of the ine is `x/a+y/b=1`
`implies(x)/(-4)+y/2=1`
`implies(-x+2y)/(4)=1`
`impliesx-2y+4=0`
