Question
The graph of the linear equation 2x + 3y = 6 cuts the y-axis at the point ______.
Options
(2, 0)
(0, 3)
(3, 0)
(0, 2)
Solution
The graph of the linear equation 2x + 3y = 6 cuts the y-axis at the point (0, 2).
Explanation:
Since, the graph of linear equation 2x + 3y = 6 cuts the y-axis.
So, we put x = 0 in the given equation 2x + 3y = 6, we get
2 × 0 + 3y = 6
⇒ 3y = 6
y = 2
Hence, at the point (0, 2), the given linear equation cuts the y-axis.
