Given that the equation of the line is
y=4x-3

We need to determine the point (2,7) lies on the line.

For a point to lie on the line, substituting the point in the equation of the line makes it valid.

Thus, substituting the point (2,7) in the equation of the line
y=4x-3, we get;


7=4(2)-3


7=8-3


7\\eq 5

Thus, the both sides of the equation are not equal.

Substituting the point (2,7) in the equation makes the equation invalid.

Thus, the point (2,7) does not lie on the line
y=4x-3
