✔ 最佳答案
Let the equation of the line be y-3=m(x-1)
i.e. mx-y-m+3=0
x=0, y=3-m
y=0, x=(m-3)/m
∴(3-m)[(m-3)/m]/2=6.25
m²-6m+9+12.5m=0
2m²+13m+18=0
(2m+9)(m+2)=0
m=-9/2 or -2
When m=-9/2, equation of L is 9x+2y-15=0
When m=-2, equation of L is 2x+y-5=0

method 1:

pt slope form: x/a +y/b =1

代 (1,3)落去
1/a + 3/b =1

ab/2 =6.25

solve 以上兩式
