The correct Answer is:
To determine if the line given by the equation \( \frac{x}{2} + \frac{y}{3} = 0 \) passes through the point (2, 3), we need to substitute the coordinates of the point into the equation and check if the equation holds true. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Equation and Point**: - The equation of the line is \( \frac{x}{2} + \frac{y}{3} = 0 \). - The point we are checking is (2, 3), where \( x = 2 \) and \( y = 3 \). 2. **Substitute the Point into the Equation**: - Substitute \( x = 2 \) and \( y = 3 \) into the left-hand side (LHS) of the equation: \[ \text{LHS} = \frac{2}{2} + \frac{3}{3} \] 3. **Calculate the LHS**: - Calculate each term: \[ \frac{2}{2} = 1 \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{3}{3} = 1 \] - Therefore, the LHS becomes: \[ \text{LHS} = 1 + 1 = 2 \] 4. **Compare LHS with Right-Hand Side (RHS)**: - The right-hand side (RHS) of the equation is 0. - Now we compare: \[ \text{LHS} = 2 \quad \text{and} \quad \text{RHS} = 0 \] 5. **Conclusion**: - Since LHS (2) is not equal to RHS (0), the point (2, 3) does not satisfy the equation. - Therefore, the statement that the line \( \frac{x}{2} + \frac{y}{3} = 0 \) passes through the point (2, 3) is **false**. ### Final Answer: **False** ---
