Question
Find the x and y intercept of the following line:
`(3x)/2 + (2y)/3` = 1
Advertisements
Solution
The equation of the line is
`(3x)/2 + (2y)/3` = 1
∴ `x/((2/3)) + y/((3/2))` = 1
This is of the form `x/"a" + y/"b"` = 1, where
`"a" = 2/3 and "b" = 3/2`
∴ x-intercept = `2/3` and y-intercept = `3/2`.
