Equation of line in Straight lines
Question

The equations of lines whose intercepts are the roots of the equation x23x+2=0 are

Moderate
Solution

The roots of the equation  x23x+2=0 are  1,2
Equation of line whose intercepts on the axes are  a,b is  xa+yb=1
Hence, the equation of the line having intercepts 1,2 is x1+y2=1  and the equation of the line having intercepts 2,1 is   x2+y1=1
Rewrite the equation as 2x+y2=0,x+2y2=0
