Write the linear equation such that each point on its graph has an ordinate 3 times its abscissa.
It is given that the ordinate is 3 times its abscissa.
That is y = 3x … (i)
Such points are:
x | 0 | 1 | 2 |
y | 0 | 3 | 6 |
The points are (0, 0), (1, 3) and (2, 6)
Now plot the graph of equation (1)
Hence y = 3x is the required solution such that each point on its graph has ordinate 3 times its abscissa.
