  1. A \(\dfrac{5}{\sqrt{13}}\)
  2. B \(\dfrac{\sqrt{13}}{6}\)
  3. C \(\dfrac{6}{\sqrt{13}}\)
  4. D 1

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\dfrac{6}{\sqrt{13}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The intercept form of a line with x-intercept \(a\) and y-intercept \(b\) is given by \(\dfrac{x}{a} + \dfrac{y}{b} = 1\). Given \(a = 2\) and \(b = 3\), the equation of the line is \(\dfrac{x}{2} + \dfrac{y}{3} = 1\). Multiplying by 6, we get \(3x + 2y = 6\), or…
