Find the equation of a line that cuts of...

Find the equation of a line that cuts off equal intercepts on the coordinate axes and passes through the point (2, 3).

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`x/a + y/b =1` Since, a=b=A
So, `x +y =A` As, it passes through (2,3) then, ` A= 5`
Required equation is` x+y=5`
