Question

y=x+1;A(1,0) is this point on the line?

Answer 1

Can anyone tell me what A stands for? Sorry this is only my second day of geometry.

Answer 2

A just a point, or the name of the point

Answer 3

You can call it anything you want, the name A has no meaning or significance

Answer 4

If you want, you can erase the "A" to get (1,0) and you'd still have the same question.

Answer 5

So is the point (1,0) on the line y = x+1?

Answer 6

I guess?? I think thats what it's asking

Answer 7

y = x+1

0 = 1+1 ... Plug in (1,0), basically x = 1 and y = 0

0 = 2

Since that equation is false, (1,0) is NOT a solution

So (1,0) is NOT on the line

Answer 8

So you plugged in 1 for y and 0 for x?

Answer 9

1 for x

Answer 10

0 for y

Answer 11

So the first number in the parenthesis will always be x and the second will be y?

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

(x,y) is any point

Answer 14

okay thanks soooo much just to be certain after you plugged everything in it would be like 0=2 and thats why it's no?
