If the straight line `(x)/(a)+(y)/(b)=1` passes through the points (8,9) and (12,-15) find the values of a and b. |
Answer» Correct Answer - a=2,b=3 Since `(x)/(a)+(y)/(b)=1` passes through the points A(8,-9) and B(12,-15) we have `(8)/(a)-(9)/(b)=1 and (12)/(a)-(15)/(b)=1` On solving we get `(3)/(b)=1 and (8)/(a)=4`. This gives a=2,b=3. |
