Identify the type of equation.
The equation is a linear equation in two variables ( and ).
Determine the number of solutions for a linear equation in two variables.
A linear equation in two variables represents a straight line in a coordinate plane. Every point on this line is a solution to the equation. Since a straight line consists of an infinite number of points, a linear equation in two variables has infinitely many solutions.
Select the correct option.
Therefore, option (iii) is true.
The equation has (iii) infinitely many solutions.2.

We need to check which of the given points are solutions to the equation .- 3(i)
Substitute and into the equation.
$$ 0 - 2(2) = 0 - 4 = -4 $$Compare the result with the right side of the equation.
Since $-4 \neq 4$, $(0, 2)$ is **not a solution**.- 3(ii)
Substitute and into the equation.
$$ 2 - 2(0) = 2 - 0 = 2 $$Compare the result with the right side of the equation.
Since $2 \neq 4$, $(2, 0)$ is **not a solution**.- 3(iii)
Substitute and into the equation.
$$ 4 - 2(0) = 4 - 0 = 4 $$Compare the result with the right side of the equation.
Since $4 = 4$, $(4, 0)$ **is a solution**.- 3(iv)
Substitute and into the equation.
$$ \sqrt{2} - 2(4\sqrt{2}) = \sqrt{2} - 8\sqrt{2} = -7\sqrt{2} $$Compare the result with the right side of the equation.
Since $-7\sqrt{2} \neq 4$, $(\sqrt{2}, 4\sqrt{2})$ is **not a solution**.- 3(v)
Substitute and into the equation.
$$ 1 - 2(1) = 1 - 2 = -1 $$Compare the result with the right side of the equation.
Since $-1 \neq 4$, $(1, 1)$ is **not a solution**.Here's a summary of the solutions for :
- is not a solution.
- is not a solution.
- is a solution.
- is not a solution.
- is not a solution.
