Question

Does the ordered pair(-6,-5)lie in the line y=1/4(x+2)-4

Answer 1

Your x coordinate is -6 and your y coordinate is -5. Substitute them into the equation to get
\[-5 ? \frac{1}{4}(-6+2)-4\] and figure out if the ? is supposed to be an equal sign or not.

Answer 2

comes out to -5 also

Answer 3

Yep. So it works, since -5=-5. It lies on the line.

If you would have gotten something like -5=17, then it would not lie on the line.

Answer 4

Thanks

Answer 5

No worries :)
