Question
Decide which of the following statements is true and which is false. Give reasons for your answer.
Points whose x and y coordinates are equal, lie on a line passing through the origin.
Solution
The examples of points having equal x and y coordinates are (0,0), (1,1), (2,2), etc. If these points are joined, they will lie on a line passing through the coordinates (0,0). Thus, the statement is true.
