FAN AND MEDAL
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.
@AlexandervonHumboldt2
this is an example of the graph
@mathmate
anyone know?
@Pawanyadav
okay so if we have 3500 and we pay 275 each month, y-y1=m(x-x1) y-3500=-275/1(x-0)
so now plug in the point for x and y then solve to see if it is true
@winsteria could you do that?
I think if it's y = 6 x = 1850 6-3500=-275/1(1850-0) ?
close, switch the x and y values
y = 1850 x = 6 1850-3500=-275/1(6-0)
yes now simplify both sides and see if the equation is true :) you got this
Total money=3500 When he pay rent for six month=1650 He left with (3500-1650=1850) So the point is on the line.
Six month rent =6×275=1650
What do you think?
It's on the line yes
seems about right haha @Pawanyadav
alright, you two have a great day :)
you too :)
