Let's check if the given statement is true or false.
We have the following line:
y = 2 / 3x + 6
We must verify that equality is met when we replace the following ordered pair:
(x, y) = (- 3, 8)
Substituting we have:
8 = (2/3) (- 3) +6
8 = -2 + 6
8 = 4 (equality is NOT met)
Answer:
The statement is false, because the equation of the line does not pass through the given point.
