Description : If p is the length of the perpendicular drawn from the origin to the line -Maths 9th
Last Answer : Let the x-intercept = a. Then y-intercept = -1 - a The equation of the required line is \(rac{x}{a}\) + \(rac{y}{-1-a}\) = 1Given, it passes through (4, 3), so,\(rac{4}{a}\) + \(rac{3}{-1-a}\) = 1⇒ - 4 - 4a ... 2}\) - \(rac{y}{3}\) = 1When a = -2, required line is \(rac{x}{-2}\) + \(rac{y}{3}\) = 1
