The equation of the line through the point \((2,3)\) such that its \(x\)-intercept is twice its \(y\)-intecept is ......... .

  1. A \(x+2 y-8=0\)
  2. B \(4 x+y+2=0\)
  3. C \(2 x+33 y-46=0\)
  4. D \(4 x+3 y-11=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(x+2 y-8=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

It is given that line makes \(x\)-intercept twice as compare to \(y\)-intercept, so let the equation of line is \(\frac{x}{2 a}+\frac{y}{a}=1\) ...(i) \(\because\) Line (i) passes through \((2,3)\) so \(\frac{2}{2 a}+\frac{3}{a}=1 \Rightarrow \frac{4}{a}=1 \Rightarrow a=4\)…
