Let the equation of the line which has equal intercepts be
+ =1
Substituting the values for x and y
1 -2 =a
Therefore a = -1
Hence the equation of the line is x+y+1=0

Let ( be a partition of a sample space and suppose that each of has nonzero probability. Let A be any event associated with S,then

is equal to
recalling the general form of a circle as
(i) It is a quadratic equation in both x and y.
(ii) Coefficient of
= Coefficient of
.
(iii) There is no term containing xy i.e., the coefficient of xy is zero.
(iv) radius is
To satisfy (i) and (ii) condition we have
To satisfy (iii) condition we have
To satisfy (iv) and as we cant have neagtive sign in root so
