Answer:

Yes. (see below)

Explanation:

First, find the slope of the line. You can do that by using the slope formula:

y2 - y1

m = ----------

x2 - x1

Now, choose any two points from the line to plug in. I'm using the points (0, 3) and (2, 4).

4 - 3

m = ------

2 - 0

1

m = --- = 1/2

2

Now, to simplify your situation, you can use the slope-intercept formula. To use this, you first need to find the slope and y-intercept.

The y-intercept is where the line meets the y-axis, which is (0, 3), so the y-intercept is 3.

Now, plug them in:

y = mx + b

y = 1/2x + 3

To see if a specific point is on this line—which, in this case, is (20, 13), plug them in and simplify to see if it's true:

13 = 1/2 (20) + 3

13 = 10 + 3

13 = 13

This is true, so the point (20, 13) is on this line.
