Correct Anaswer : 3
Explanation:
Let the equation of the line be x/a + y/b = 1 which cuts off intercepts a and b with the coordinate axes.
It is given that a = b, therefore the equation of the line is x/a + y/a = 1
⇒ x + y = a …..1
But it is passes through (α, β)
So, α + β = a
Put this value in equation 1, we get
x + y = α + β
