Question

Correct the line x + 6y = 1x+6y=1 so that it passes through the point (4, -9).provide the corrected equation of the line in standard form (Ax + By = CAx+By=C).

Answer 1

To correct the line x + 6y = 1 so that it passes through the point (4, -9), substitute the coordinates of the given point into the equation and solve for the variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

To correct the line x + 6y = 1 so that it passes through the point (4, -9), we need to substitute the coordinates of the given point into the equation and solve for the variable. Here's how:

1. Substitute the x-coordinate (4) and the y-coordinate (-9) into the equation: 4 + 6(-9) = 1
2. Simplify and solve for the variable: 4 - 54 = 1
3. Combine like terms: -50 = 1
4. Since -50 is not equal to 1, the original equation does not pass through the given point. Therefore, it cannot be corrected to pass through the point (4, -9).
