Prove that for any point on the line intersecting the axes in the picture, the sum of the x and y coordinates is 3. |
|
Answer» If (x, y) lies' on the line joining the points (0,3) and (3,0) then, \(\frac{y-3}{x-0}=\frac{0-3}{3-0}\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{y-3}{x}=\frac{-3}{3}=-1\) y - 3 = x \(\Rightarrow\) x + y = 3 ∴ the sum of the and y coordinates of the point is 3. |
