The line $y = 2x$ passes through which pair of coordinates?

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given,

Equation of the line is $y = 2x$.

A point lies on the line only if its coordinates satisfy the equation of the line.

Substituting the coordinates (1, 2) in $y = 2x$, we get :

⇒ 2 = 2 × 1

⇒ 2 = 2

Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S., the point (1, 2) lies on the line.

Substituting the coordinates (−1, −2) in $y = 2x$, we get :

⇒ −2 = 2 × (−1)

⇒ −2 = −2

Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S., the point (−1, −2) lies on the line.

Thus, the line $y = 2x$ passes through the points (1, 2) and (−1, −2).

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
