उत्तर
(i) Here, a = b
So, the equation of the line is
\[\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{a} = 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow x + y = a\]
The line x + y = a passes through (5, 6).
\[\therefore 5 + 6 = a\]
\[ \Rightarrow a = 11\]
Hence, the equation of the line is \[x + y = 11\]
(ii) Here, b = \[-\] a
So, the equation of the line is
\[\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{- a} = 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow x - y = a\]
The line x\[-\] y = a passes through (5, 6).
\[\therefore 5 - 6 = a\]
\[ \Rightarrow a = - 1\]
Hence, the equation of the line is \[x - y = - 1\]
