Example1. Find x-intercept and y-intercept of the line `2x+3y=4`Solution:We shall write equation in the form `x/a+y/b=1` and find the intercepts on X and Y axis `2x+3y=4` `:. 2x+3y=4` `:. (2x)/4+(3y)/4=1` `:. x/(2)+y/(4/3)=1` Comparing this equation with `x/a+y/b=1`, we get `a=2` and `b=4/3` Hence, intercept on X-axis is `2` and intercept on Y-axis is `4/3`
2. Find x-intercept and y-intercept of the line `2x+3y-6=0`Solution:We shall write equation in the form `x/a+y/b=1` and find the intercepts on X and Y axis `2x+3y-6=0` `:. 2x+3y=6` `:. (2x)/6+(3y)/6=1` `:. x/(3)+y/(2)=1` Comparing this equation with `x/a+y/b=1`, we get `a=3` and `b=2` Hence, intercept on X-axis is `3` and intercept on Y-axis is `2`
3. Find x-intercept and y-intercept of the line `3x+6y-8=0`Solution:We shall write equation in the form `x/a+y/b=1` and find the intercepts on X and Y axis `3x+6y-8=0` `:. 3x+6y=8` `:. (3x)/8+(6y)/8=1` `:. x/(8/3)+y/(4/3)=1` Comparing this equation with `x/a+y/b=1`, we get `a=8/3` and `b=4/3` Hence, intercept on X-axis is `8/3` and intercept on Y-axis is `4/3`
4. Find x-intercept and y-intercept of the line `4x+5y+7=0`Solution:We shall write equation in the form `x/a+y/b=1` and find the intercepts on X and Y axis `4x+5y+7=0` `:. 4x+5y=-7` `:. (4x)/-7+(5y)/-7=1` `:. x/(-7/4)+y/(-7/5)=1` Comparing this equation with `x/a+y/b=1`, we get `a=-7/4` and `b=-7/5` Hence, intercept on X-axis is `-7/4` and intercept on Y-axis is `-7/5`
