Given, line is 3x + 4y - 12 = 0
The point of intersection on the graph can be find out as
x 0 4
y 12 0
Let the point through which the given line passes is A (4, 0) and B (0, 12)
Let P and Q be the point of intersection of AB
Now, coordinate of P = {(1 * 0 + 2 * 4)/(1 + 2), (1 * 12 + 2 * 0)/(1 + 2)}
= (8/3, 4)
Given point O (0, 0) is the origin
So, the equation of OP is
y - 0 = {(4 - 0)/(8/3 - 0)} * (x - 0)
=> y = (3 *4x)/8
=> y = 12x/8
=> y = 3x/2
=> 2y = 3x ................1
Again,
the equation of OQ is
y - 0 = {(8 - 0)/(4/3 - 0)} * (x - 0)
=> y = (3 *8x)/4
=> y = 3 * 2x
=> y = 6x .......2
So, the equation 1 and 2 are the required equation of the line.
