Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a equation:

3x+7y=11

We are asked which point lies on its graph

  • (6, -1)

Putting x=6 and y= -1

3x+7y=3×6+7×(-1)

= 18-7

= 11

Hence, (6, -1) lies on the graph of 3x+7y=11

  • (1,-2)

Putting x=1 and y= -2

3x+7y=3×1+7×(-2)

= 3-14

= -11

Hence, (1, -2) does not lie on the graph of 3x+7y=11

  • (0,-4)

Putting x=0 and y= -4

3x+7y=3×0+7×(-4)

= -28

Hence, (0, -4) does not lie on the graph of 3x+7y=11

  • (0,4)

Putting x=0 and y= 4

3x+7y=3×0+7×4

= 28

Hence, (0, 4) does not lie on the graph of 3x+7y=11
