COMEDK · Maths · 10. Straight Lines

Equation of the straight line making equal intercepts on the axes and passing through the point \((2,4)\) is

  1. A \(4 x-y-4=0\)
  2. B \(2 x+y-8=0\)
  3. C \(x+y-6=0\)
  4. D \(x+2 y-10=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(x+y-6=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the equation of line be \[ x+y=a \] \[ [\therefore a=b] \] Now, given line passes through \((2,4)\), then \[ \begin{aligned} 2+4 &=a \\ \Rightarrow \quad a &=6 \end{aligned} \] \(\therefore\) Equation of line is \(x+y-6=0\)
