The combined equation of the straight lines passing through the point \((4,3)\) and each line making intercepts on the coordinate axes whose sum is -1 , is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \((3 x-2 y-6)(x-2 y+2)=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the intercept of the line on coordinate axes be a and \(b\). Then, \(\quad a+b=-1\) \(\Rightarrow \quad b=-(1+a)\) \(\therefore\) Equation of line will be \[ \frac{x}{a}-\frac{y}{1+a}=1 \] Since, above line passes through \((4,3)\).…
