Question

Which of the following points does NOT lie on the graph of the following equation?
2x + -3y = -5

Answer 1

Remember a point lies on the line if it satisfies the equation
Substitute the y value and x value of the point in and see if the equation makes sense.
If not, then the point does not lie on the line.

Answer 2

A.(-4, -1) B. (2, 3) C. (4, 1) D. (8, 7) those are the choices, PLEASE HELP

Answer 3

Do what I suggested. Take the point A(-4,1) as an example.
In this case x = -4 and y =1
2x -3y = -5 is the equation. Substitute x = -4 and y =1 into it:
Then consider LHS and RHS (left and right hand sides of equation)
LHS = 2(-4) - 3(1) = -8 - 3 = -11
RHS = -5
but LHS is not equal to RHS. so this point does not lie on the line.
When you find a point so that LHS = RHS, then it lies on the line.
