Find the equation of the straight line passing through (–4, 5) and cutting off equal intercepts on the coordinate axes.

Answer»

Let a, b be the intercepts of the line

Intercepts are equal => a = b

Equation of the line is x/a+ y/b=1

=>x + y = a

The line passes through (–4, 5) => –4 + 5 = a => a = 1

So, Equation of the required line is x + y = 1.
