Question

If (a, 0) is a point on the line represented by the equation $2x-3y=4,$, find the value of a.

• A. 0
• B. 2
• C. 1
• D. -1

Answer 1

The correct option is B

2

If the point (a, 0) lies on the line represented by the given equation, then it must satisfy the equation.

On substituting x = a and y = 0 in the given equation, we get

$2\left(a\right)-3\left(0\right)=4$

$\Rightarrow a=\frac{4}{2}$

$\Rightarrow a=2$

Thus, the value of a is 2.
