The equation of the straight lines passing through the point (4, 3) and making intercepts on the coordinate axes whose sum is -1, is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

\frac{x}{2} - \frac{y}{3} = 1\;

and

\frac{x}{{ - 2}} + \frac{y}{1} = 1

The correct answer is

\frac{x}{2} - \frac{y}{3} = 1\;

and

\frac{x}{{ - 2}} + \frac{y}{1} = 1

because these are the equations of lines passing through (4, 3) with intercepts summing to -1.
