Solution

Let PQ be the line passes through coordinate axis and P.
And is bisected at P by the axes, then
Using Given condition
2=a+o2 and 3=b+o2 [ from section formula]
[a=4] & [b=o]
Now equation of line passing through (2, 3) and (4, 0) as
y3=o343(x2)
y3=3(x2)
y+3x=9....(1)
Hence equation of line is y+3x=9
