B

No, when doing this I would just plug in your a value from the coordinate and you b value from the coordinate and see if they add up to the total

Should I just you how to do what I am explaining with the option B?

anonymous · Answer

yeah

kayders1997 · Answer

okay the coordinate is (0,6) and it says that it is in the form (a,b) so we know the 0 is a and the 6 is b let's put that into our equation 4a-5b=24 so 4(0)-5(6)=24 just plugging in a and b so 0-30=24 
-30 does not equal 24
