  1. A only in the first quadrant
  2. B either in first or in second quadrant
  3. C either in first or in third quadrant
  4. D only in the third quadrant
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) either in first or in second quadrant

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the point \(P(h, k)\) lie on the line \(3 x+5 y=15\) Distance from coordinate axes are equal from \(P\). \(\therefore \quad|h|=|k|\) \(\Rightarrow \quad h= \pm k\) Point \(P\) line of \(3 x+5 y=15\) \(3 h+5 k=15 \Rightarrow 3 h+5 h=15\)…
