An equation of the form ax + by + c = 0 where a ≠ 0, b ≠ 0, c = 0 represents a straight line which passes through

1. (0, 0)
2. (3, 2)
3. (2, 4)
4. None of these

Correct Option: A

ax + by + c = 0
When c = 0, ax + by = 0

by = – ax ⇒ y = -	a	x
	b

= When x = 0, y = 0 i.e. this line passes through the origin (0, 0).
