What is the equation of line, which makes intercepts –5 and 2 on the x and y-axis respectively

a

2x – 5y = 10

b

–2x + 5y = –10

c

2x – 5y = –10

d

5x – 2y = 10

Answer : Option C
Explanation :

Here,

a = –5, b = 2

∴ Equation of line will be

xa+yb=1\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1

x5+y2=1\Rightarrow \frac{x}{-5}+\frac{y}{2}=1

2x5y=10\Rightarrow 2 x-5 y=-10
