Detailed Solution

The equation of the st.line whose intercepts on co-ordinate axes as  a, b is xa+yb=1 ...(1)
equation(1) making x-intercept = a
and y-intercept = b
Given a : b = 2 : 3
ab=233a=2ba=2b3 (1)x2b3+yb=13x2b+yb=1  ...(2)
Equation (2) passing through (3, – 4) then 
3(3)2b4b=192b4b=1
98=2b 1=2b b=12 a=13
 equation  of st.line is 3x+2y=1
