Intercepts from general equation for JEE
Intercepts of a line on the co-ordinate axis
Formula
\(ax+by+c=0\Rightarrow x\text{-intercept}=-\dfrac{c}{a},\ y\text{-intercept}=-\dfrac{c}{b}\)
Variables: \(a,b,c\) are constants.
Conditions: Need \(a\ne 0\) for \(x\)-intercept and \(b\ne 0\) for \(y\)-intercept.
Finding intercepts directly from line equation.
