Nehal Wani16 Years ago Let the line be x/a+y/b=1 The points of intersection of this line with the coordinate axes are (a,0) and (0,b) Since (3,-2) bisects this line, it the the mid-point of the intercept. Therefore, a/2=3 and b/2=-2 a=6 and b=-4 Thus the equation is : x/6-y/4=1 or 4x-6y=24 or 2x-3y=12
