Question

You are given an equation of a line and a point. Use substitution to determine whether the point is on the line. -x - 4y = -14;A(-6,2)

Answer 1

In your coordinate, your x value is -6 and your y value is 2. If you sub in -6 in the equation for x, you should get a y of 2. If you don't, that point is not on the line. Try it.

Answer 2

-(-6) - 4(2) = -14? Is this true? Do the numbers work?

Answer 3

is it -2 = -14?
