Question

State, true or false :

The line `x/ 2 + y/3 = 0` passes through the point (2, 3).

Options

• True

• False

Answer 1

This statement is False.

Explanation:

The given line is `x/ 2 + y/3 = 0`

Substituting x = 2 and y = 3 in the given equation,

L.H.S = `x/2 + y/3`

= 1 + 1

= 2 ≠ R.H.S

Thus, the given statement is false.
