उत्तर

The equation of the line with intercepts a and b is \[\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1\] .Since the line meets the coordinate axes at A and B, the coordinates are A (a, 0) and (0, b).
Let the given point be P (3, 4).
Here,

\[AP : BP = 2 : 3\]

\[\therefore 3 = \frac{2 \times 0 + 3 \times a}{2 + 3}, 4 = \frac{2 \times b + 3 \times 0}{2 + 3}\]

\[ \Rightarrow 3a = 15, 2b = 20\]

\[ \Rightarrow a = 5, b = 10\]

Hence, the equation of the line is

\[\frac{x}{5} + \frac{y}{10} = 1\]

\[ \Rightarrow 2x + y = 10\]
