As we learnt in

Intercept form of a straight line -

\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}=1

 

- wherein

a and b are the x-intercept and y -intercept respectively.

 

 

\frac{a+0}{2}=3       \Rightarrow    a = 6

\frac{b+0}{2}=4       \Rightarrow b = 8

\frac{x}{6}+\frac{y}{8}=1

4x+3y=24


Option 1)

x+y=7

This is incorrect option

Option 2)

3x-4y+7=0

This is incorrect option

Option 3)

4x+3y=24

This is correct option

Option 4)

3x+4y=25

This is incorrect option
