Solution
The points ( 3,a) lies on the line 2x - 3y =5.
If point (3,a) lies on the line 2x - 3y =5 then 2x - 3y =5.
`⇒ (2xx3)-(3xxa)=5`
⇒ 6-3a =5
⇒ 3a = 1
`⇒a=1/3`
Hence, the value of a is `1/3`.

If the points P(1, 2), Q(0, 0) and R(x, y) are collinear, then find the relation between x and y.
Given points are P(1, 2), Q(0, 0) and R(x, y).
The given points are collinear, so the area of the triangle formed by them is `square`.
∴ `1/2 |x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2)| = square`
`1/2 |1(square) + 0(square) + x(square)| = square`
`square + square + square` = 0
`square + square` = 0
`square = square`
Hence, the relation between x and y is `square`.
