Let a and b be the intercepts on x and y-axis

Then a + b = 9

b=9a(1)

Using intercept form equation of line with a and b intercepts are

xa+yb=1

xa+y9a=1(2)

As point (2, 2) passes the line having equation of form equation (2) we can write as

2a+29a=1

2(9a)+2aa(9a)=1

182a+2a=(9a)a

18=9aa2

a29a+18=0

a23a6a+18=0

a(a3)6(a3)=0

(a3)(a6)=0

So, a = 3, 6

Case I

When a = 3, b = 9 – 3 = 6. Then the equation of line is

x3+yc=1

2x+y6=1

2x+y=6

2x+y6=0

Case II

When a = 6,
