Taking the given equation to its slope-intercept form we get:


\begin{gathered} y-10=60x-2400, \\ y=60x-2400+10, \\ y=60x-2390. \end{gathered}

Therefore, the slope of the line is 60.

Now, when x=40:


y=60*40-2390=10.

Therefore the point (40,10) is on the line.

Answer: The point (40,10) is on the line, and the slope of the line is 60.
