Question

Which statement is true about the graph of the line 8x+3y=0It is a vertical lineIt is a horizontal lineIt passes through (8,3)It passes through the origin

Answer 1

Vertical ine is in the form

x = a where a is a number

Horizontal line is in the fomr

y = b, where b is a number

Clearly the equatin isn't a vertical or hirzontal line.

Now, 3rd and 4th hoice evaluate:

(8,3) --- point it passes

let's plug in:

8x + 3y

8(8) + 3(3) = 0 ??? NO!!

T

This choice is not right.

Now, 4th choice:

passes through origin (0,0)

8x + 3y = 0

Now plugging in:

8(0) + 3(0)

= 0

So, this is correct.

It passes through the origin
