Answer

(i) Substituting x = 1 and y = 3 in the L.H.S. of the equation x - 2y + 5 = 0, we get :

L.H.S. = 1 - 2 × 3 + 5

= 1 - 6 + 5

= -5 + 5

= 0.

Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S.

∴ Point (1, 3) satisfies the equation.

Hence, (1, 3) lies on the line represented by the equation x - 2y + 5 = 0.

(ii) Substituting x = 0 and y = 5 in the L.H.S. of the equation x - 2y + 5 = 0, we get :

L.H.S. = 0 - 2 × 5 + 5

= 0 - 10 + 5

= -5

Since, L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.

∴ Point (0, 5) does not satisfies the equation.

Hence, (0, 5) does not lies on the line represented by the equation x - 2y + 5 = 0.

(iii) Substituting x = -5 and y = 0 in the L.H.S. of the equation x - 2y + 5 = 0, we get :

L.H.S. = -5 - 2 × 0 + 5

= -5 - 0 + 5

= -5 + 5

= 0.

Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S.

∴ Point (-5, 0) satisfies the equation.

Hence, (-5, 0) lies on the line represented by the equation x - 2y + 5 = 0.

(iv) Substituting x = 5 and y = 5 in the L.H.S. of the equation x - 2y + 5 = 0, we get :

L.H.S. = 5 - 2 × 5 + 5

= 5 - 10 + 5

= 10 - 10

= 0.

Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S.

∴ Point (5, 5) satisfies the equation.

Hence, (5, 5) lies on the line represented by the equation x - 2y + 5 = 0.
