The given equation is
6x + 2y + 5 = 0
Here, A = 6, B = 2, C = 5
∴ Equation in intercept form is
\(\frac{x}{-\frac{C}{A}} + \frac{y}{-\frac{C}{B}}\) = 1
⇒ \(\frac{x}{-\frac{5}{6}} + \frac{y}{-\frac{2}{6}}\) = 1
⇒ \(\frac{x}{-\frac{5}{6}} + \frac{y}{-\frac{2}{6}}\) = 1,
⇒ \(\frac{x}{-\frac{5}{6}} + \frac{y}{-\frac{1}{3}}\) = 1, where a (intercept on x-axis)
= − \(\frac{5}{6}\) and b (intercept on y – axis) = − \(\frac{1}{3}\)
