Question
Reduce the given equation into the intercept form and find the intercept on the axis. 4x - 3y = 6

Answer

Here 4x - 3y = 6
$\Rightarrow \frac{{4x}}{6} - \frac{{3y}}{6} = 1 \Rightarrow \frac{{2x}}{3} - \frac{y}{2} = 1]$$\Rightarrow \frac{x}{{\frac{3}{2}}} + \frac{y}{{ - 2}} = 1$
which is required intercept form,
Comparing it with $\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1$, we have
$a = \frac{3}{2}$ and b = -2
