Question

Does the point (2, 6) lie on the line that connects (1, 4) and (0, 3)? Explain.

Answer 1

The point does not lie on the line

Explanation:

Find the slope of the equation with rise/run

This gets you -1/-1 = 1

The equation will be y = x + 3, given the y intercept at (0, 3)

Plug in the point (2, 6) to see if it works in the equation

6 = 2 +3

6
`\\eq` 5

The point does not lie on the line
