उत्तर
The equation of the line with intercepts a and b is \[\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1\]
This line intersects the axes at A (a, 0) and B (0, b).
Here, (α, β) is the midpoint of AB.
\[\therefore \alpha = \frac{a + 0}{2}, \beta = \frac{0 + b}{2}\]
\[ \Rightarrow a = 2\alpha, b = 2\beta\]
Hence, the equation of the line is \[\frac{x}{2\alpha} + \frac{y}{2\beta} = 1\]
