(a) The required locus will be a straight line in which every point will have its X coordinate equal to 7, irrespective of its Y coordinate value. The equation is independent of the variable y.

The required equation is x = 7

(b) Putting x = 3, y = 1 in the equation 3x + 4y = 16,

$(3 \times 3) + (4 \times 1) = 13 \neq 16$

The equation does not hold. Hence, the point (3, 1) does not lie on the line 3x + 4y = 16
