Math Problem Statement

For each ordered pair, decide if the ordered pair is a solution to the equation and if the point is on the line (Example equations: y = x + 2 and y = x - 4).

Solution

For these exercises, the goal is to check whether each ordered pair is a solution to the given linear equation and determine if the point lies on the graph of the line.

For exercise 5:

The equation is y=x+2y = x + 2.

You are given the ordered pairs:

  • A: (0, 2)
  • B: (1, 2)
  • C: (-1, 1)
  • D: (-3, -1)

To check if each point is on the line, substitute the xx-value into the equation and see if the resulting yy-value matches the given yy-value of the point.

  1. For A: (0, 2), substitute x=0x = 0 into y=x+2y = x + 2: y=0+2=2(True, A is on the line)y = 0 + 2 = 2 \quad \text{(True, A is on the line)}

  2. For B: (1, 2), substitute x=1x = 1: y=1+2=3(False, B is not on the line)y = 1 + 2 = 3 \quad \text{(False, B is not on the line)}

  3. For C: (-1, 1), substitute x=1x = -1: y=1+2=1(True, C is on the line)y = -1 + 2 = 1 \quad \text{(True, C is on the line)}

  4. For D: (-3, -1), substitute x=3x = -3: y=3+2=1(True, D is on the line)y = -3 + 2 = -1 \quad \text{(True, D is on the line)}

For exercise 6:

The equation is y=x4y = x - 4.

The ordered pairs are:

  • A: (0, -4)
  • B: (3, -1)
  • C: (2, 2)
  • D: (1, -5)
  1. For A: (0, -4), substitute x=0x = 0: y=04=4(True, A is on the line)y = 0 - 4 = -4 \quad \text{(True, A is on the line)}

  2. For B: (3, -1), substitute x=3x = 3: y=34=1(True, B is on the line)y = 3 - 4 = -1 \quad \text{(True, B is on the line)}

  3. For C: (2, 2), substitute x=2x = 2: y=24=2(False, C is not on the line)y = 2 - 4 = -2 \quad \text{(False, C is not on the line)}

  4. For D: (1, -5), substitute x=1x = 1: y=14=3(False, D is not on the line)y = 1 - 4 = -3 \quad \text{(False, D is not on the line)}

Summary:

  • For exercise 5, points A, C, and D are on the line.
  • For exercise 6, points A and B are on the line.

Follow-up Questions:

  1. What general method can you use to determine if a point is on a line?
  2. How does changing the slope of a line affect the position of points on the graph?
  3. What happens to a line's graph when you change the y-intercept?
  4. How would you find the equation of a line if you're given two points?
  5. How does graphing an equation help in solving a system of equations?

Tip: When checking if a point is on a line, always plug in the x-value of the point into the equation and compare the computed y-value with the point's y-value.
