On which of the following lines does the point (7, 1) lie?A.) y = 5x + 4B.) y = -x + 8C.) y = x - 10D.) y = -4x + 3
Accepted Solution
A:
we have that the point (7, 1)
case A.) y = 5x + 4 if the point (7, 1) lie to the line so for x=7 the value of y must be 1 y=5*7+4------> y=39 39 is not 1---------> the point does not belong to the line
case B.) y = -x + 8 if the point (7, 1) lie to the line so for x=7 the value of y must be 1 y=-7+8------> y=1--------> the point belongs to the line
case C.) y = x - 10 if the point (7, 1) lie to the line so for x=7 the value of y must be 1 y=7-10------> y=-3 -3 is not 1---------> the point does not belong to the line
case D.) y = -4x + 3 if the point (7, 1) lie to the line so for x=7 the value of y must be 1 y=-4*7+3------> y=-25 -25 is not 1---------> the point does not belong to the line
