Question

Find, which of the following points lie on the line x – 2y + 5 = 0 :

(0, 5)

Answer 1

The given line is x − 2y + 5 = 0.

Substituting x = 0 and y = 5 in the given equation, we have:

L.H.S. = 0 − 2 × 5 + 5

= −10 + 5

= −5 ≠ R.H.S.

Thus, the point (0, 5) does not lie on the given line.
