Answer»

Equation of the line is

x/4 + y/b = 1

It passes through (2, 3). This implies that

2/4  + -3/b = 1 ⇒ -3/b = 1/2 ⇒ b = -6

Hence, the equation of the line is

x/4 - y/6 = 1

3x - 2y = 12= 0

Answer: (A)  (q)

(B) Let  x/a + y/b = 1

It passes through (4, 1) and forms a triangle with positive axes having area 8. Therefore

4/a + 1/b = 1  ...(1)

and 1/2(ab) = 8

From Eqs. (1) and (2), a = 8 and b = 2. Hence, the equation of the line is

x/8 + y/2 = 1  or x + 4y - 8 = 0

Answer: (B)  (p)

(C) Equation of the line with equal intercepts on the axes is

x/a + y/a = 1 or  x + y = a

This passes through the point (2, 5) implies that a = 7. Hence, the line is

x + y - 7 = 0

Answer: (C)  (r)

(D) Let the line be y =  (tan 135°)x + c where c = 8. That is, y = -x + 8 or x + y = 0. 

Answer: (D)  (t)
