The equation of the line which makes equal intercepts on the axis and passes through the point (2,5) shall be:
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 4
A line with equal intercepts on both axes means the x-intercept and y-intercept are at the same distance from the origin.
When a line makes equal intercepts, it has the form:
where is a constant.
The line passes through the point .
Substituting and :
The equation of the line is:
