Question

The graph of the linear equation 2x + 3y = 6 meets the y - axis at the point

(a) (2, 0)

(b) (3, 0)

(c) (0, 2)

(d) (0, 3)

Answer 1

If the graph of the linear equation 2 x + 3y = 6 meets the y-axis, then x = 0.

Substituting the value of x = 0 in equation 2x + 3y = 6, we get

$2\times 0+3y=6\Rightarrow 3y=6\Rightarrow y=\frac{6}{3}\Rightarrow y=2$

So, the point of meeting is (0, 2).

Hence, the correct answer is the option (c).
