Question

The equation of a line is y=8x+2 and the point (3,q) lies on this line. What is the value of q?

Answer 1

q = 26

Explanation:

Given that (3, q ) lies on the line, then the coordinates of the point make the equation true.

Substitute x = 3, y = q into the equation

q = 8(3) + 2 = 24 + 2 = 26
