A linear equation in two variables $x$ and $y$ is of the form $ax = by + c = 0,$ where:
  • $\text{a}\neq0,\ \text{b}\neq0$
  • B
    $\text{a}\neq0,\ \text{b}=0$
  • C
    $\text{a}=0,\ \text{b}\neq0$
  • D
    $\text{a}=0,\ \text{c}=0$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\text{a}\neq0,\ \text{b}\neq0$
A linear equation in tow variables $x$ and $y$ is of the form $ax + by + c = 0,$ where $\text{a}\neq0$ and $\text{b}\neq0,$
Since if either $a$ or $b$ is $0,$ the degree of the equation would be but it would not be a linear equation in tow variables.
If both $a$ and $b$ are $0,$ then the equation is not linear.

The linear equation $3x - 5y = 15$ has:
  • A
    A unique solution.
  • B
    Two solutions.
  • Infinitely many solutions.
  • D
    No solution.
Answer
Correct option: C.
Infinitely many solutions.
The linear equation $3x - 5y = 15$ has infinitely many solutions since any every point on this line will be a solution of this equation.
For different values of $x,$ we will get get the corresponding different values of $y$.
Since $x$ can take infinitely many values, $y$ will also have infinite values.
Hence, the line will have infinitely many solutions.

The point of the form $(\text{a},-\text{a}),\ \text{a}\neq0$ lies on:
  • A
    The $x-$ axis
  • B
    The $y-$ axis
  • C
    The line $y = x$
  • The line $x + y = 0$
Answer
Correct option: D.
The line $x + y = 0$
A point which lies on the $x-$ axis has its $y-$ coordinate $= 0$
While a point which lies on the $y-$ axis has its $x-$ coordinate $= 0.$
So, the points of the form $(a, -a)$ will not lie on either axes.
Also, it does not satisfy the equation on of the line $y = x$.
The point of the form $(a, -a)$ lies on the line $x + y = 0$ since it satisifes the equation of the given line.

The given linear equation is $x = y = 0.$
We have to check which of the point satisfy the given equation.
consider option $(a)$:
Substituting $\text{x}=-\frac{1}{2}$ and $\text{y}=\frac{1}{2}$ in the $\text{LHS}$ if the given linear equation
$\therefore\ \text{x}-\text{y}=-\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2}=-1\neq\text{RHS}$

We need to check for each of the four given equations.
Substituting $x = -2$ and $y = 2$ in option $(b),$
We get:
$\text{LHS} = x + y$
$= -2 + 2$
$0 = \text{RHS}$
$\therefore\ x = -2 $ and $y = 2$
Satisfy the given linear equation.
Substituting $x = 0$ and $y = 0$ in option $(b),$
We get:
$\text{LHS} = x + y$
$= 0 + 0$
$0 = \text{RHS}$
$\therefore\ x = 0$ and $y = 0$
Satisfy the given linear equation.
Substituting $x = -2$ and $y = 2$ in option $(b),$
We get:
$\text{LHS}$
$= x + y$
