27. Find equation of the line passing through the point (2, 2) and cutting off intercepts on the axes whose sum is 9.
Let a and b be the intercepts on x and y-axis
Then a + b = 9
Using intercept form equation of line with a and b intercepts are
As point (2, 2) passes the line having equation of form equation (2) we can write as
So, a = 3, 6
Case I
When a = 3, b = 9 – 3 = 6. Then the equation of line is
Case II
When a = 6,

Option (B) is correct
|r1 – r2| < c1c2 < r1 + r2
->
Now,
(y – 2) = m (x – 8)
⇒ x-intercept
⇒
⇒ y-intercept
⇒ (–8m + 2)
⇒ OA + OB =
