Question

Solve the equations: $\frac{x}{a}$ + $\frac{y}{b}$ = 1 and the $xaxis$.

• A. (-a,0)
• B. (b,0)
• C. (a,0)
• D. (-b,0)

Answer 1

The correct option is C

(a,0)

We are given:

$\frac{x}{a}$ + $\frac{y}{b}$ = 1 ------- (1) ;

$y=0$ ______(2) [ Equation of the $xaxis$ is $y=0$ ]

Subsituting $y=0$ in the first equation we get,

$\frac{x}{a}+0=1$

$\Rightarrow \frac{x}{a}=1$

$\therefore x=a$ .

Hence the solution is (a,0)
