Question

Which of the given points would be in a table generated by the equation below?

px+ qy= s



A. ( p/s , 0)
B. ( 0 , s/q)
C. (p , 0)
D. (0, q)

Answer 1

B. (0, s/q)

Explanation:

Answer 2

B. (0, s/q)

Explanation:

As with many problems of this type (which point ...?), the answer can be found by trying the points in the equation.

Here, you're concerned with the x- or y-intercept. If you set one variable to zero and solve for the other, you find the intercepts to be ...

• (0, s/q)
• (s/p, 0)

Only the first of these is on the list of choices.
