The intercept form $\dfrac{x}{a} + \dfrac{y}{b} = 1$ represents a line with:
Aslope $a/b$
Bx-intercept $b$ and y-intercept $a$
Cx-intercept $a$ and y-intercept $b$
Dslope $b/a$
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. x-intercept $a$ and y-intercept $b$
Setting $y = 0$: $x/a = 1 \Rightarrow x = a$ (x-intercept). Setting $x = 0$: $y = b$ (y-intercept).
