Question

A straight line through the point $$A$$ (3, 4) is such that its intercept between the axes is bisected at $$A.$$ Its equation is -

A. $$x+y=7$$
B. $$3x-4y+7=0$$
C. $$4x+3y=24$$  
D. $$3x+4y=25$$
Answer :   $$4x+3y=24$$
Solution :

$$\because $$ $$A$$ is the mid point of $$PQ,$$  therefore
$$\frac{{a + 0}}{2} = 3,\,\frac{{0 + b}}{2} = 4\,\, \Rightarrow a = 6,\,\,b = 8$$
$$\therefore $$ Equation of line is $$\frac{x}{6} + \frac{y}{8} = 1{\text{ or }}4x + 3y = 24$$
