TRUE OR FALSE?

I'm not too sure how I would figure this one out...

@CShrix

Miracrown (miracrown):

Well, we can see that the provided equation has the slope -1/4 so, the only question is whether the line contains that point. We can discover that by plugging in the x and y values of the point and seeing if we get a true statement

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Miracrown So without a graph how do I figure that out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@freckles Could you help me with this one?

OpenStudy (freckles):

what is this...

OpenStudy (freckles):

is this suppose to be true or false ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes! (:

OpenStudy (freckles):

have you tried the suggestion @Miracrown gave?

OpenStudy (freckles):

plug in (-3,5) into the equation y=-1/4 x-4 to see if the equation holds

OpenStudy (freckles):

you will know if it is true if you get the same number on both sides of the equation

OpenStudy (freckles):

if you don't get the same number on both sides then it is like totally false
