Question

Find the coordinates of the point where the line $\frac{x}{2}+\frac{y}{3}=5$ intersects axis.

Answer 1

Given the equation of the line is

$\frac{x}{2}+\frac{y}{3}=5$

or, $\frac{x}{10}+\frac{y}{15}=1$......(1).

From this equation it is clear that the line intersects the co-ordinate axes at $(10,0)$ and $(0,15)$ respectively.
