Start first with the intercept form for the line.
The reason for this is, two of the given points are the intercepts of the line.
((p,0) is the x-intercept, while (0,p) is the y-intercept.)
The intercept form is , where a = b = p.
Hence, after substitution, .
==> ==> p = 8, and so the equation is x + y = 8.
