QQuestion

The equation of the line passing through the origin and parallel to the line 3x + 4y + 7 = 0 is:

(a) 3x + 4y + 5 = 0

(b) 4x − 3y − 5 = 0

(c) 4x − 3y = 0

(d) 3x + 4y = 0

Exam-ready answer • 01 Mark

Answer

(d) 3x + 4y = 0

Explanation:

Parallel lines have the same coefficients of x and y.

A line parallel to 3x + 4y + 7 = 0 has the form:

3x + 4y + c = 0

It passes through the origin (0, 0).

Substituting x = 0 and y = 0:

3(0) + 4(0) + c = 0

⇒ c = 0

Therefore, the required equation is 3x + 4y = 0.
