Question:

The equation of the straight line, intersecting the coordinate axes \( x \) and \( y \) are respectively 1 and 2, is:

Show Hint

The equation of a straight line intersecting the axes at \( x = a \) and \( y = b \) is given by \( \frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1 \).

  • \( x + y = 3 \)
  • \( x - 2y = -3 \)
  • \( 2x - y = 0 \)
  • \( 2x + y = 2 \)
  • \( x - y = -1 \)

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

For a line intersecting the x-axis at 1 and the y-axis at 2, the equation of the line can be written as: \[ \frac{x}{1} + \frac{y}{2} = 1 \] Multiplying through by 2 gives the equation: \[ 2x + y = 2 \]
