Solution and Explanation
The joint equation of the coordinate axes is given by the equation:
\[
\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1
\]
where \( a \) and \( b \) are the intercepts on the \( x \)-axis and \( y \)-axis, respectively. This equation represents a straight line that intersects the \( x \)-axis at \( a \) and the \( y \)-axis at \( b \).
