Answer

By intercept form,

Equation of line : xa+yb=1\dfrac{x}{a} + \dfrac{y}{b} = 1

Given,

x-intercept (a) : 5

y-intercept (b) : 5

Substituting values in equation, we get :

x5+y5=1x+y=5.\Rightarrow \dfrac{x}{5} + \dfrac{y}{5} = 1 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x + y = 5.

Hence, Option 2 is the correct option.
