Question

If the intercept made by the line between the axis is bisected at the point (5, 2), then its equation is.

• A. $5 x + 2 y = 20$
• B. $2 x + 5 y = 20$
• C. $5 x - 2 y = 20$
• D. $2 x - 5 y = 20$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$2 x + 5 y = 20$

Answer 2

The intercept made by the line between the axis is

(10, 4).

Hence, equation of line, $\frac { x } { 10 } + \frac { y } { 4 } = 1 \Rightarrow 2 x + 5 y = 20$.
