Question

Determine whether the given point is on the line and explain how you know.(4,-6)y= 1/2x-10

Answer 1

First, replace 4 which is x-coordinate in the equation

y= 1/2*4 - 10

y= 2 - 10 Solve for y

y = -8

Since the result (-8) is not equal to -6, which is the value proposed, the point is not on the line.
