Question

State whether the given statement is true or false.
The points (0,1), (2,7), (-2,-7) and (-1,-4) fall on the line y = 3x + 1.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

Putting x = 0, y = 1 in y = 3x + 1 =>

$1=3\times 0+1$

Equation is satisfied. Hence, (0, 1) is on the line.

Putting x = 2, y = 7 in y = 3x + 1 =>
$7=3\times 2+1$

The equation is satisfied. Hence, (2, 7) is on the line.

Putting x = -2, y = -7 in y = 3x + 1 =>

$-7\ne 3\times -2+1$

Equation is not satisfied. Hence, (-2, -7) is not on the line.

Putting x = -1, y = -4 in y = 3x + 1 =>
$-4\ne 3\times -1+1$

The equation is not satisfied. Hence, (-1, -4) is not on the line.
