Question

The equation of a line with x-intercept 5 and y-intercept also 5 is ______.

Options

• 2x − y = 5

• x + y = 5

• x − y = 5

• x + 2y = 5

Answer 1

The equation of a line with x-intercept 5 and y-intercept also 5 is x + y = 5.

Explanation:

By intercept form,

Equation of line : `x/a + y/b = 1`

Given,

x-intercept (a): 5

y-intercept (b): 5

Substituting values in equation, we get:

⇒ `x/5 + y/5 = 1`

⇒ x + y = 5
