Question
State, true or false :
The line `x/2 + y/3 = 0` passes through the point (4, −6).
Options
True
False
Solution
This statement is True.
Explanation:
The given line is `x/2 + y/3 = 0`
Substituting x = 4 and y = – 6 in the given equation,
L.H.S = `4/2 + (-6)/3`
= 2 − 2
= 0 = R.H.S
Thus, the given statement is true.
