Question

Which point lies on the line described by the equation below?

y + 4 = 4(x - 3)

Answer 1

(2,-8)

Answer 2

Check each of the given points. Substitute the x- and y- values into the equation. (x, y)

Ex. Let's check if (2, -8) could work.
(2, -8)
(x, y)

y + 4 = 4(x - 3)

-8 + 4 = 4(2 - 3)

Solve the equation.

-8 + 4 = 4(2- 3)

Distribute. Solve.

-8 + 4 = 8 - 12

-4 = -4

^---So this point could work. Check each of your options.
