Question

find the equation of the line which cuts off an intercept 2 on positive direction of x-axis and an intercept 5 on negative direction of y-axis. ​

Answer 1

Hi,
line cuts off an intercept 2 on positive direction of x-axis and an intercept 5 on negative direction of y-axis. ​
so a = 2 and b = -5

so equation of line
$$\begin{gathered} \frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1 \\ \frac{x}{2}+\frac{y}{-5}=1 \\ 2y-5x=-10 \end{gathered}$$
