Question

Makenzie graphs the line y= 2x + 13. Which statement is true?

The point (-4,5) is on the line
The point (5,-4) is on the line
There are no points on a line
There is no way to know because the graph is not given

Answer 1

The point (-4,5) is on the line

Explanation:

You can replace the x and y values to determine if it is a true statement

First Statement

5= 2(-4)+13 -> 5= -8+13 -> 5=5 true

Second Statement

-4=2(5)+13 -> -4= 10+13 -> -4 ≠ 23 false

You can automatically eliminate the next two answers because you already found that the first statement is true and because you can find points using an equation.
