Find the equation of a straight line passing through (-5,6) and cutting off equal intercepts on the co-ordinate axes.

  1. A 6 x-5 y=30
  2. B x-y=-11
  3. C x+y=11
  4. D x+y=1
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) x+y=1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Any line which cuts equal intercept is of the form x+y=k Since this line passes through -5,6, it will satisfy the equation of the line, ⇒-5+6=k ⇒k=1 Hence, the equation of line is x+y=1.
