Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{6}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given intercepts oncoordinate axes are 5 and 7 Let \(\mathrm{a}=5, \mathrm{~b}=7\), then equation of line is \[ \begin{aligned} & \frac{x}{5}+\frac{y}{7}=1 \\ & 7 x+5 y=35 \end{aligned} \] According to question, the equation of new line is \(\mathrm{x}\)…
