Question

Which point(s) lie on the line whose equation is - 4x + 5y - 12 = 8 Select all that apply. A (5, 0) В (- 2, 2.4) (8, 5) D (10, 12) E (0, 4)

Answer 1

Options B, D and E

Explanation:

Given equation is,

-4x + 5y - 12 = 8

-4x + 5y = 20

If a point given in the options lie on the line, point will satisfy the equation.

Option A.

For a point (5, 0),

-4(5) + 5(0) = 20

-20 = 20

False

Therefore, (5, 0) will not lie on the given line.

Option B

For (-2, 2.4)

-4(-2) + 5(2.4) = 20

8 + 12 = 20

20 = 20

True.

Therefore, (-2, 2.4) will lie on the given line

Option C

For (8, 5),

-4(8) + 5(5) = 20

-32 + 25 = 20

-7 = 20

False

Therefore, (8, 5) will not lie on the line.

Option D

For (10, 12)

-4(10) + 5(12) = 20

-40 + 60 = 20

20 = 20

True.

Therefore, (10, 12) will lie on the line.

Option E

For (0, 4)

-4(0) + 5(4) = 20

20 = 20

True.

Therefore, (0, 4) will lie on the line.

Options B, D and E are correct.
