Where does the line cut the -axis?

Class 9Linear Equations in Two VariablesLinear Equations
  • A(0, −8)
  • B(2, 0)
  • C(0, 2)
  • D(−8, 0)

Step-by-Step Solution

On the -axis , so → → , giving the point (2, 0). (0, −8) is where the line cuts the -axis, not the -axis.
Answer: B) (2, 0)

Key idea: Equations of the x-axis and y-axis

**-axis**: every point on the -axis has . So the -axis is the line **-axis**: every point on the -axis has . So the -axis is the line ****.

These are special cases of 'lines parallel to the axes' — except they ARE the axes themselves.
