Question

Any line in the form y = ax passes through ______

• A. (1, 1)
• B. (1, 0)
• C. (0, 0)
• D. (0, 1)

Answer 1

The correct option is C (0, 0)

Let us take the line y = 2x.
If we take x = 0, we get y = $2\times 0=0$. This means that the line passes through (0,0) which is the origin. If we take any such equation of the form y = ax, and put x = 0, we will always get y = 0 because anything multiplied to 0 is equal to 0. Thus, any line of the form y = ax will pass through the origin (0, 0).
