Question

Which of these points lies on the line described by the equation below? 

y - 5 = 6(x - 7)

Answer 1

the equation of a line thaht passes through (x1,y1) and has a slope of m is
y-y1=m(x-x1)
given
y-5=6(x-7)
y1=5
x1=7
point is (7,5)


D

Answer 2

Explanation:

the equation given to us is y - 5 = 6(x - 7)

This is the point slope form y-y1=m(x-x1)

where (x1 , y1) is the point and m is the slope.

By comparing the two equations we can say that

x1=5

y1=7

so the point which lies on the line is (5,7).
