Question

Which one of the following statements is correct regarding the line $x+2y=0$?

• A. It is parallel to the X-axis
• B. It is parallel to the Y-axis
• C. It passes through the origin
• D. It passes through the point (2,0)

Answer 1

The correct option is C It passes through the origin

On substituting x = 0 in x + 2y = 0, we get
$\Rightarrow$ 0 + 2y = 0
$\Rightarrow$ y = 0

$\therefore$ The line given x + 2y = 0 passes through the origin.
