उत्तर

The equation of the line with intercepts a and b is \[\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1\].

Here, a = b and ab = 25

\[\therefore a \times a = 25\]

\[ \Rightarrow a^2 = 25\]

\[ \Rightarrow a = 5 \left( \because \text { we are to take only positive value of intercepts } \right)\]

Hence, the equation of the required line is

\[\frac{x}{5} + \frac{y}{5} = 1\] 

 \[ \Rightarrow x + y = 5\]
