Straight Line Question 306

Question: The equation of the line which cuts off an intercept 3 units on OX and an intercept -2 unit on OY, is [MP PET 1984]

Options:

A) $ \frac{x}{3}-\frac{y}{2}=1 $

B) $ \frac{x}{3}+\frac{y}{2}=1 $

C) $ \frac{x}{2}+\frac{y}{3}=1 $

D) $ \frac{x}{2}-\frac{y}{3}=1 $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • Here intercept on x-axis is 3 and intercept on y-axis is ?2. So using intercept form of the equation of line, the required line is $ \frac{x}{3}-\frac{y}{2}=1 $ .
