Question

Find the value of a so that the point (3, a) lies on the line represented by 2x − 3y + 5 = 0

Answer 1

If a point is said lie on a line represented by, then the given equation of the line should hold true when the values of the co-ordinates of the points are substituted in it.

Here it is said that the point (3, a) lies on the line represented by the equation.

Substituting the co-ordinates of the values in the equation of the line we have,

Thus the value of ‘a’ satisfying the given conditions is.
