Question

How do you determine whether (6,-2) is on the line `y=1/2x-5`?

Answer 1

`(6,-2)" is on the line"`

Explanation:

`"If the point lies on the line then it will satisfy the "`
`"equation"`

`"substitute x = 6 into the equation and if the result is "`
`"y= - 2 then "(6,-2)" is on the line"`

`x=6toy=(1/2xx6)-5=3-5=-2`

`rArr(6,-2)" is on the line "y=1/2x-5`
