(2) If any line passes through apoint (x, y), then the coordinatesmust satisfy the equation of line.∴2(7)+5(–2)≠0,so‘2x+5y=0’is not the required line. Similarly, the lines 6x + 9y – 7 = 0and 5x – 6y = 48 also does notpass through the point (7, –2). And, 3(7)+6(−2)=9,so‘3x+6y=9’ is the required line.
