Given:

'a' and 'b' are the intercepts made  by a straight-line with the co- ordinate axes.

3a = b and the line  pass through the point (1, 3).

To find:

The equation of the line.

Solution:

The intercept form of a line is

\dfrac{x}{a}+\dfrac{y}{b}=1         ...(i)

where, a is x-intercept and b is y-intercept.

We have, 3a=b.

\dfrac{x}{a}+\dfrac{y}{3a}=1           ...(ii)

The line  pass through the point (1, 3). So, putting x=1 and y=3, we get

\dfrac{1}{a}+\dfrac{3}{3a}=1

\dfrac{1}{a}+\dfrac{1}{a}=1

\dfrac{2}{a}=1

Multiply both sides by a.

2=a

The value of a is 2. So, x-intercept is 2.

Putting a=2 in b=3a, we get

b=3(2)

b=6

The value of b is 6. So, y-intercept is 6.

Putting a=2 and b=6 in (i), we get

\dfrac{x}{2}+\dfrac{y}{6}=1

Therefore, the equation of the required line in intercept form is \dfrac{x}{2}+\dfrac{y}{6}=1.

V125BC [204]

Answer: $18,617.75 is the answer

$87,525-$77,100=$10,425 (the amount over $77,100)

$10,425 x .28=$2,919 (the 28% taxed amount over $77,100)

$2,919+$15,698.75 (the already taxed amount in the chart)=$18,617.75
