Question

Hey i need help! question: Select the two statements that are true about the equation y−10=60(x−40).

Answer 1

Taking the given equation to its slope-intercept form we get:

`\begin{gathered} y-10=60x-2400, \\ y=60x-2400+10, \\ y=60x-2390. \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the slope of the line is 60.

Now, when x=40:

`y=60*40-2390=10.`

Therefore the point (40,10) is on the line.

Answer: The point (40,10) is on the line, and the slope of the line is 60.
