Question

The equation of the line which cuts off an intercept 3 units on OX and an intercept – 2 unit on OY, is.

• 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. $\frac { x } { 2 } - \frac { y } { 3 } = 1$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

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

Answer 2

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