MCQ
If a straight line passing through the point $P(-3, 4)$ is such that its intercepted portion between the coordinate axes is bisected at $P,$ then its equation is
  • A
    $3x-4y+25=0$
  • $4x-3y+24=0$
  • C
    $x-y+7=0$
  • D
    $4x+3y=0$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$4x-3y+24=0$
b
Let the line be $\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1$

$\left( { - 3,4} \right) = \left( {\frac{a}{2},\frac{b}{2}} \right)$

$a=-6, b=8$

equation of line is 

$4x-3y+24=0$
