Question

Write the linear equation such that each point on its graph has an ordinate $3$ times its abscissa.

Answer 1

Write the linear equation such that each point on its graph has an ordinate $3$ times its abscissa.

The standard linear equation is of the type $ax+by=c$, where, $a,b,c$ are real numbers.

The ordinate is the $y$ coordinate and abscissa is the $x$ coordinate in Cartesian coordinate $\left(x,y\right)$.

Determine a linear equation such that each point on its graph has an ordinate, $y$ which is $3$ times its abscissa, $x$.

$y=3x$

Thus, $y=3x$ is the required linear equation.
