The intercept of a line between the coordinate axes is divided by the point in the ratio . The equation of the line will be
Step 1: Find the values of intercept and intercept
Let us assume that, the intercept of the given straight line is and the intercept is .
It is given that, the intercepts are divided by the point in the ratio .
The point, which divides the line segment in between and in the ratio , can be given by .
Thus, .
.
So, and .
Or, and .
Step 2: Find the equation of straight line
The intercept form of a straight line can be given by .
Substitute with and with .
Therefore, the equation of the straight line is .
