JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 9. straight line

If a line intercepted between the coordinate axes is trisected at a point \(A( 4, 3 ),\) which is nearer to \(x-\) axis, then its equation is

  1. A \(4x -3y =7\)
  2. B \(3x+2y= 18\)
  3. C \(3x+8y = 36\)
  4. D \(x+3y= 13\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3x+2y= 18\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A divides \(CB\) in \(2:1\) \( \Rightarrow 4 = \left( {\frac{{1 \times 0 + 2 \times a}}{{1 + 2}}} \right) = \frac{{2a}}{3}\) \( \Rightarrow a = 6 \Rightarrow \) coordinnate of \(B\) is \(B(6,0)\) \(3 = \left( {\frac{{1 \times b + 2 \times 0}}{{1 + 2}}} \right) = \frac{b}{3}\)…
