What is the equation of the straight line passing through the point (4, 3) and making intercepts on the co-ordinates axes whose sum is –1 ? -Maths 9th

1 Answer

Answer :

Diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles ⇒ Co-ordinates of mid-points of AC and BD are equal∴ 0 = \(\bigg(rac{4+(-2)}{2},rac{-5+(-1)}{2}\bigg)\) = (1, –3)Slope of BD = \(rac{-5+1}{4+2}\) = \(rac{-4}{6}\) = \(rac{-2}{3}\)∵ AC ⊥ BD, Slope of AC = \(rac{3}{2}\)∴ Equation of AC, passing through O (1, –3) having slope \(rac{3}{2}\) isy + 3 = \(rac{3}{2}\) (x - 1)⇒ 2y + 6 = 3x – 3 ⇒ 2y = 3x – 9.
