Question

The sum of the squares of the intercepts made by the line 5 x - 2 y = 10 on the co-ordinate axes equals, 29, 25, 4, 100

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

The given line is 5 x - 2 y = 10 ⇒ The intercept form of the line is x 2 - y 5 = 1 Thus, the intercepts are 2 , - 5 Hence, the sum of squares of the intercepts is 2 2 + - 5 2 = 2 2 + 5 2 = 4 + 25 = 29
