The straight line 2x + 3y = 12 passes through:

A. 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd quadrant

B. 1^st, 2^nd and 4^th quadrant

C. 2^nd, 3^rd and 4^th quadrant

D. 1^st, 3^rd and 4^th quadrant

Answer: Option B

Solution (By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & 2x + 3y = 12 \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{2x}}{{12}} + \frac{{3y}}{{12}} = 1 \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{x}{6} + \frac{y}{4} = 1 \cr} $$
