Answer

True

Work Step by Step

The equation of a line passing through the origin of $R^2$ can be written as: $y=mx+b$. For y-intercept , that is $b=0$, tven our equation becomes: $y=mx$ When $b \ne 0$, then the equation of a line does not pass through the origin of $R^2$. This means that the line would not contain the zero vector and cannot have a subspace of $R^2$. Therefore, the given statement is True.
