Question
Find the x and y-intercepts of the following line: `(3x)/2 + (2y)/3` = 1
Advertisements
Solution
Given 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 x-intercept = a, y-intercept = b
∴ x-intercept = `2/3` and y-intercept = `3/2`.
