Question

If the point (-2, k) lies on the line given by the equation 3x + 4y = 5, then the value of k = .

• A. $\frac{11}{4}$
• B. -$\frac{11}{4}$
• C. $\frac{4}{11}$
• D. -$\frac{4}{11}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{11}{4}$

Given,the point (-2,k) lies on the line given by the equation 3x+4y=5.
Hence, the point(-2,k) must satisfy the equation of the given line.
$\Rightarrow$ 3(-2)+4(k)=5
$\Rightarrow$ k = $\frac{11}{4}$.
