Question

Which point lies on the line described by the equation below?

y+2=-3(x-5)

Answer 1

(2,7) is one possibility

Explanation:

There may be more to the question than what is entered. A straight line has an infinite number of points. Lets rearrange the equation into standard slope-intercept format of y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

y+2=-3(x-5)

y = -3x +15 -2

y = -3x + 13

Three totally random points where chosen, and are marked. Any of these is a valid answer to "Which point lies on the line . . "
