If a straight line passing through the pointP-3, 4is such that its intercepted portion between the coordinate axes is bisected atP, then its equation is :

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Let the line passing through -3, 4 intersect the coordinate axes at A & B.

By mid-point formula, co-ordinates of Pα+02, 0+β2.

Comparing with given co-ordinate values, we get

α+02=-3α=-6

and β+ 02=4β=8

Hence, equation of line is x-6+y8=1

4x-3y+24=0
