Find the value of 'a 'So, that the point (3, a) lies on the line represented by 2x – 3y = 5.

It is given that the point lies on the line that means the point (3, a) should satisfy the equation of the line.


∴ Substitute (3,a) in 2x – 3y = 5 we get,


⇒ 2(3) – 3(a) = 5


⇒ –3(a) = –1


⇒


∴ when then the point lies on the line represented by


2x–3y = 5.
