Question

The equation of the line whose x intercept is 3 and y intercept is -2 is

• A. $\frac{x}{3}-\frac{y}{2}=1$
• B. $\frac{x}{3}+\frac{y}{2}=1$
• C. $\frac{x}{2}+\frac{y}{3}=1$
• D. $\frac{x}{2}-\frac{y}{3}=1$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$\frac{x}{3}-\frac{y}{2}=1$

Here, the intercept on the x-axis is 3 and intercept on the y-axis is – 2. So using intercept form of the equation of line, the required line is $\frac{x}{3}-\frac{y}{2}=1$
