The equation of the straight line passing through the point (4, 3) and making intercepts on the co-ordinate axes whose sum is –1 is

  • straight x over 2 space plus straight y over 3 space equals space minus space 1 space and space fraction numerator straight x over denominator negative 2 end fraction space plus straight y over 1 space equals space minus space 1
  • straight x over 2 minus straight y over 3 space equals space minus space 1 space and space fraction numerator straight x over denominator negative 2 end fraction space plus straight y over 1 space equals space minus space 1
  • straight x over 2 space plus straight y over 3 space equals space 1 space and space straight x over 2 space plus straight y over 1 space equals space 1
  • straight x over 2 space plus straight y over 3 space equals space 1 space and space straight x over 2 space plus straight y over 1 space equals space 1


D.

straight x over 2 space plus straight y over 3 space equals space 1 space and space straight x over 2 space plus straight y over 1 space equals space 1

Let a and b be the intercepts on the co-ordinate axes. a + b = -1
⇒ b = - a - 1 = - (a + 1)

Equation of line is x/a + y/b = 1



rightwards double arrow space straight x over straight a space minus fraction numerator straight y over denominator straight a plus 1 end fraction space equals 1 space.... space left parenthesis straight i right parenthesis
Since space the space line space passes space through space left parenthesis 4 comma 3 right parenthesis
therefore 4 over straight a minus fraction numerator 3 over denominator straight a plus 1 end fraction space equals space 1
rightwards double arrow space fraction numerator 4 straight a space plus space 4 minus 3 straight a over denominator straight a left parenthesis straight a plus 1 right parenthesis end fraction space equals 1
straight a plus space 4 space equals space straight a squared space plus straight a
straight a squared space equals space 4
straight a equals space plus-or-minus 2
therefore space from space left parenthesis straight i right parenthesis
straight x over 2 minus straight y over 3 space equals 1 space or space fraction numerator straight x over denominator negative 2 end fraction space plus straight y over 1 space equals 1

Transforming to parallel axes through a point (p, q), the equation

2x2 + 3xy + 4y2 + x + 18y + 25 = 0 becomes 2x2 + 3xy + 4y= 1. Then,

  • p = - 2, q = 3

  • p = 2, q = - 3

  • p = 3, q = - 4

  • p = - 4, q = 3

  • (6,- 3)

  • (3,- 6)

  • (0, 0)
