Given that the equation of the line is
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
, we get;
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
