Hi,
For the point (r,s) to belong to the line: y = 3x+2 then
s = 3r + 2, or
3r + 2 - s = 0
1. As (3r + 2 - s )( 4r + 9 - s) = 0, then
either (3r + 2 - s) or (4r + 9 - s) can be equal to Zero. So we cannot define whether (3r + 2 - s) is equal to Zero.
Hence, 1 is insuff.
2. (4r - 6 - s) (3r + 2 - s) = 0
The same as 1, either (3r + 2 - s) or (4r - 6 - s) can be equal to Zero
Hence, 2 is insuff.
1&2
either (3r + 2 - s) or (4r + 9 - s) can be equal to Zero
AND
either (3r + 2 - s) or (4r - 6 - s) can be equal to Zero
Then 3r + 2 - s must be equal to Zero. Why?
As both (4r + 9 - s) and (4r - 6 - s) cannot be equal to Zero, or - say in another way:
4r - s cannot be both -9 and 6.
Then point (r,s) belong to the above line. Thus 1&2 is suff.
