Start first with the intercept form for the line.
\n" ); document.write( "The reason for this is, two of the given points are the intercepts of the line.
\n" ); document.write( "((p,0) is the x-intercept, while (0,p) is the y-intercept.)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The intercept form is $\"x%2Fa+%2B+y%2Fb+=+1\"$ , where a = b = p.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hence, after substitution, $\"7%2Fp+%2B+1%2Fp+=+1\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "==> $\"8%2Fp+=+1\"$ ==> p = 8, and so the equation is x + y = 8.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
