find the equation of a straight line passes through a point (2,3) which makes x-intercept double the y-intercept.
Dear Student,
Solution)
Let the equation makes an intercept of 'a' with axis.
Therefore, intercept on x - axis = 2a.
The equation of the line is given by
This equation passes through the point (2,3).
So, from (i), we have,
2+2(3)=2a
2+6=2a
8=2a
a = 4
Thus, the required equation of the line is
