JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Straight Line Question Bank Slope of line, Equation of line in different forms

  • question_answer
    The equation of the line which cuts off an intercept 3 units on OX and an intercept -2 unit on OY, is     [MP PET 1984]

    A) \[\frac{x}{3}-\frac{y}{2}=1\]

    B) \[\frac{x}{3}+\frac{y}{2}=1\]

    C) \[\frac{x}{2}+\frac{y}{3}=1\]     

    D) \[\frac{x}{2}-\frac{y}{3}=1\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Here intercept on x-axis is 3 and intercept on y-axis is  ?2. So using intercept form of the equation of line, the required line is \[\frac{x}{3}-\frac{y}{2}=1\].
