Question

Answer the following question:

Does point A(2, 3) lie on the line 3x + 2y – 6 = 0? Give reason.

Answer 1

Given equation is 3x + 2y – 6 = 0.

Substituting x = 2 and y = 3 in L.H.S. of given equation, we get

L.H.S. = 3x + 2y – 6

= 3(2) + 2(3) – 6

= 6

≠ R.H.S.

∴ Point A does not lie on the given line.
