Description : Find the equation of the straight line with a positive gradient which passes through the point (–5, 0) -Maths 9th
Last Answer : (d) Both (a) and (c)Since the line passes through A(a, 0) and B(0, b), it makes intercepts a and b on x-axis and y-axis respectively. Let the equation of this line in the intercept from be \(rac{x}{a}\) + \(rac{y}{a}\) ... \(rac{x}{-12}\) + \(rac{y}{-5}\) = 1⇒ 5x + 12y = 60 and 5x + 12y + 60 = 0.
