Answer:

Only the first point lies on the line and thus, Anders is incorrect

Explanation:

Here, we want to show that Anders is incorrect

we simply substitute the values of his coordinates into the equation of the line

for (10,420)

we have;

420 = 40(10) + 20

420 = 420

This is right

We now test the second given point;

-420 = 40(-10) + 20

-420 = -400 + 20

-420 is not -380
