What is the equation of the line which has 3/2 and -4/7 as x and y intercept respectively?
A line with x-intercept 3/2 will intercept x-axis at $$(\frac{3}{2},0)$$
A line with y-intercept -4/7 will intercept y-axis at $$(0,\frac{-4}{7})$$
=> Slope, $$m = \frac{-4}{7} \div \frac{-3}{2} = \frac{8}{21}$$
Equation of line passing thorough points $$(x_1 , y_1)$$ and slope $$m$$ = $$(y - y_1) = m (x - x_1)$$
=> Equation of line = $$(y - 0) = \frac{8}{21} (x - \frac{3}{2})$$
=> $$21y = 8x - 12$$
=> $$8x - 21y = 12$$
=> Ans - (C)
