Question

Explain why the point (4,11) is on the line of the equation y - 5 = 2 (x - 1).

Answer 1

EXPLANATION

Given the line function:

y-5 = 2 (x-1)

Plug (4,11) into y-5 = 2(x-1)

11 - 5 = 2(4-1)

Applying the distributive property:

6 = 8 - 2

Adding terms:

6 = 6

As 6=6 we can assevere that the point (4,11) is a part of the line function.
