(A) The given equation is $3x = 4y$,which can be rewritten as $y = \frac{3}{4}x$.
This is a linear equation of the form $y = mx$,where $m = \frac{3}{4}$.
Any linear equation of the form $y = mx$ (where $c = 0$) represents a straight line that passes through the origin $(0, 0)$.
Substituting $x = 0$ in the equation $3x = 4y$,we get $3(0) = 4y$,which implies $4y = 0$,so $y = 0$.
Since the point $(0, 0)$ satisfies the equation,the graph passes through the origin.
Therefore,the statement is True.
