Question

If a point $(2,a)$ lies on the line represented by the equation $3y=5x+8,$ then the value of $a$ is.

• A. 6

Answer 1

The correct option is A 6
Given that $(2,a)$ lies on the line represented by the equation $3y=5x+8.$
Substituting $x=2$ and $y=a$ in $3y=5x+8,$ we get
$3\left(a\right)=5\left(2\right)+8.$
$⟹3a=10+8$
$⟹a=6$.
