The correct answer is:
lie on a straight line
Taking co-ordinates as $\left(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{r}}, \frac{\mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{r}}\right) ;(\mathrm{x}, \mathrm{y}) \&(\mathrm{xr}, \mathrm{yr})$. Above coordinates satisfy the relation $\mathrm{y}=\mathrm{mx}$ Therefore lies on the straight line.
