Question

Can anybody on here help me out? -math​

Answer 1

So select "is" true.

Explanation:

So we're given the equation: y = 1/2x - 5.

So the slope is 0.5 or 1/2.

The y-intercept is -5 or (0, -5).

To find if the ordered pair holds true or not we must evaluate.

So we start at:

(0, -5)

(1, -4.5)

(2, -4)

(3, -3.5)

(4, -3)

(5, -2.5)

(6, -2)

- WE ARE INCREASING BY 1/2 AS ITS THE SLOPE!!

Therefore, after evaluating, it can be seen that it does hold true.

Answer 2

Yes, the point is on the line. It does result in a true statement.

Explanation:

y = 1/2x -5

-2 =1/2(6) -5

-2 = 3 -5

-2 = -2
