The equation of the line when the portion of it intercepted between the axes is divided by the point...........

Mathematics (NDA) Coordinate Geometry

The equation of the line, when the portion of it intercepted between the axes is divided by the point (2, 3) in the ratio of 3:2, is

Either x + y = 4 or 9x + y = 12

Either x + y = 5 or 4x + 9y = 30

Either x + y = 4 or x + 9y = 12

Either x + y = 5 or 9x + 4y = 30

Now 2a/5=2 => a=5
3b/5=3 =>b=5
Equation of line is x + y = 5.

3a/5=2 => a=10/3

2b/5=3 =>b=15/2
Equation of line is
3x/10 +2y/15 =1
=> 9x +4y =30
