Question

Find the point on the line 2x+5y+4=0 whose ordinate is 5.

Answer 1

Answer:

( - 14.5 , 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required point be ( a , 5 )

As ( 5 , a ) lies on 2x + 5y + 4 = 0 :

  ⇒ 2( a ) + 5( 5 ) + 4 = 0

  ⇒ 2a + 25 + 4 = 0

  ⇒ 2a + 29 = 0

  ⇒ 2a = - 29

  ⇒ a = - 29 / 2  

Hence the required point is (- 14.5 , 5 )
