Question

Find the x and y intercept of the following line:

`(3x)/2 + (2y)/3` = 1

Sum
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`.
