Answer:

(9,3)

Explanation:

We have been given an equation of a line
y-3=5(x-9) and we are asked to find the point that lies on our given line.

Since we know that point-slope form equation of a line is:
(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1), where,

m = The slope of the line.


(x_1,y_1) = The coordinates of given point on the line.

Since our given equation is in point-slope form, so x-coordinate of our given point is 9 and y-coordinate of our given point is 3.

Therefore, point (9,3) lies on the line described by our given equation.
