alleryThe intercept form of the equation of a line making intercepts a and b on the x- and y-axes is
Ay/a + x/b = 1
Bx/a + y/b = 1
Cax + by = 1
Dx + y = a + b
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. x/a + y/b = 1
Intercept form: x/a + y/b = 1. At x = a, y = 0 (x-intercept)
at y = b, x = 0 (y-intercept).
