FAN AND MEDAL

OpenStudy (winsteria):

The instructor had saved $3,500 and rents an apartment for $275 monthly. He believes the point (6, 1850) would be on the equation of the line. Is he correct? Explain how to check if a point is on a line.

okay so if we have 3500 and we pay 275 each month, y-y1=m(x-x1) y-3500=-275/1(x-0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so now plug in the point for x and y then solve to see if it is true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@winsteria could you do that?

OpenStudy (winsteria):

I think if it's y = 6 x = 1850 6-3500=-275/1(1850-0) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

close, switch the x and y values

OpenStudy (winsteria):

y = 1850 x = 6 1850-3500=-275/1(6-0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes now simplify both sides and see if the equation is true :) you got this

OpenStudy (pawanyadav):

Total money=3500 When he pay rent for six month=1650 He left with (3500-1650=1850) So the point is on the line.

OpenStudy (pawanyadav):

Six month rent =6×275=1650

OpenStudy (pawanyadav):

What do you think?

OpenStudy (winsteria):

It's on the line yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

seems about right haha @Pawanyadav

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright, you two have a great day :)

OpenStudy (winsteria):

you too :)
