(0, -3) and (4, 0) are solutions of the linear equation:
3x - 4y = 12
(i) Put (0, -3) in 3x + 4y = 12
LHS
= 3(0) + 4(-3)
= -12 RHS
(ii) Put (0, -3) in 4x - 3y = 12
LHS
= 4(0) - 3(-3)
= 9 RHS
(iii) Put (0, -3) in 4x + 3y = 12
LHS
= 4(0) + 3(-3)
= -9 RHS
(iv) Put (0, -3) in 3x - 4y = 12
LHS
= 3(0) - 4(-3)
= 12 = RHS
Put (4, 0) in 3x - 4y =12
LHS
= 3(4) - 4(0)
= 12 = RHS
Hence, 3x - 4y = 12 has (0, -3) and (4, 0) as solutions.
