Question

Determine the point on graph of the linear equation whose absicca is 3 times its ordinate​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the abscissa of the point be x,

According to the question, Ordinate (y) = 3 x Abscissa ⇒ y=3x When x = 1, then y = 3 x 1 = 3 and when x = 2, then y = 3 x 2 = 6.

Here, we find two points A (1,3) and B (2, 6). So, draw the graph by plotting the points and joining the line AB.

Hence, y = 3x is the required equation such that each point on its graph has an ordinate 3 times its abscissa.
