An Important Question of class 10 Based on Equation of a Straight Line Chapter of M.L Aggarwal for ICSE BOARD.
Here you have to find the intercepts made by the line 2x – 3y + 12 = 0 on the co-ordinate axis.
In this question i have little doubt so please solve it.
This is the Question Number 18, Exercise 12.1 of M.L Aggarwal.

Given line equation is 2x – 3y + 12 = 0
On putting y = 0, we will get the intercept made on x-axis
2x – 3y + 12 = 0
2x – 3 × 0 + 12 = 0,
2x – 0 + 2 = 0,
2x = -12
⇒ x = -6
Now, on putting x = 0, we get the intercepts made on y-axis
2x – 3y + 12 = 0
2 × 0 – 3y + 12 = 0
-3y = -12
⇒ y = 4
Hence, the x-intercept and y-intercept of the given line is -6 and 4 respectively.
