To determine which points will lie on the resulting line representing Steven's savings account balance over time, we need to find the linear relationship between the month and the balance. We can do this by calculating the slope and the y-intercept from the given data points and then checking if the other points fit this linear equation.

First, let's find the slope (m) of the line. We'll use the points (1, 400) and (3, 1200):

$m = \frac{1200 - 400}{3 - 1} = \frac{800}{2} = 400$

Now that we know the slope is $400 per month, we can find the y-intercept (b) using the point (1, 400):

$400 = 400(1) + b$ $b = 400 - 400$ $b = 0$

The equation of the line is:

$\text{Balance} = 400 \times \text{Month}$

Now, we need to check if the points (22, 8400), (23, 9200), (24, 8800), (26, 10400), and (27, 10600) lie on this line:

1. For (22, 8400): $400 \times 22 = 8800$ $8400 \neq 8800$

2. For (23, 9200): $400 \times 23 = 9200$ $9200 = 9200$

3. For (24, 8800): $400 \times 24 = 9600$ $8800 \neq 9600$

4. For (26, 10400): $400 \times 26 = 10400$ $10400 = 10400$

5. For (27, 10600): $400 \times 27 = 10800$ $10600 \neq 10800$

Therefore, the points (23, 9200) and (26, 10400) will lie on the resulting line.
