उत्तर
\[\text { The equation of line passing through }\left( 1, 4 \right) \text { with slope m is given by } \]
\[y - 4 = m\left( x - 1 \right) ................. \left( 1 \right)\]
\[\text { Substituting y = 0, we get }\]
\[0 - 4 = m\left( x - 1 \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{- 4}{m} = x - 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow x = \frac{m - 4}{m}\]
\[\text{ Substituting x = 0, we get } \]
\[y - 4 = m\left( 0 - 1 \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow y = - m + 4\]
\[ \Rightarrow x = - \left( m - 4 \right)\]
\[\text { So, the intercepts on coordinate axes are } \frac{m - 4}{m} \text { and }- \left( m - 4 \right) . \]
\[\text { Let S be the sum of the intercepts . Then }, \]
\[S = \frac{m - 4}{m} - \left( m - 4 \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{dS}{dm} = \frac{4}{m^2} - 1\]
\[\text { For maximum or minimum values of S, we must have }\]
\[ \frac{dS}{dm} = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{4}{m^2} - 1 = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{4}{m^2} = 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow m^2 = 4\]
\[ \Rightarrow m = \pm 2\]
\[\text {Now}, \]
\[\frac{d^2 S}{d m^2} = \frac{- 8}{m^3}\]
\[ \left( \frac{d^2 S}{d m^2} \right)_{m = 2} = \frac{- 8}{2^3} = - 1 < 0\]
\[\text { So, the sum is minimum at m = 2} . \]
\[ \left( \frac{d^2 S}{d m^2} \right)_{m = - 2} = \frac{- 8}{\left( - 2 \right)^3} = 1 > 0\]
\[S\text { o, the sum is maximum at m = - 2 } . \]
\[\text { Thus, the minimum value is given by}\]
\[S = \frac{- 2 - 4}{- 2} - \left( - 2 - 4 \right) = 3 + 6 = 9\]
