If equation of a line is 3x+2y-6=0 then x-intercept is _____ and y-intercept is _____(a) 3, 2(b) 2, 3(c) 2, 6(d) 3, 6I had been asked this question in a national level competition.This intriguing question comes from Distance of a Point from a Line in division Straight Lines of Mathematics – Class 11

Answer» RIGHT choice is (b) 2, 3

The explanation is: Reducing the above EQUATION to INTERCEPT form x/a +y/b =1,
