Question

Select all the points that are on the graph of the line y = -1/2x +5

0,5
0,10
1,2
1,4
5,0
10,0

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

(0, 5), (10, 0)

Explanation:

It can be useful to graph the equation and plot the points. Alternatively, you can evaluate the equation at the offered points.

Right away, you will notice that x must be even if y is to be an integer. The first point is the y-intercept, which the equation tells you is (0, 5). Then the only remaining candidate point is (10, 0), which also satisfies the equation:

0 = (-1/2)(10) +5 = -5 +5
