Which of the following points lies on the line y = 2x + 3?

We have, y = 2x + 3 (i)

a. (2, 8) [putting x = 2 and y = 8 in (i)]


8 = 2(2) + 3


8 ≠ 7


Thus, A doesn’t lie on the line.


b. (3, 9) [putting x = 3 and y = 9 in (i)]


9 = 2(3) + 3


9 = 9


Thus, B lies on the line.


Option B is correct.
