Math Problem Statement
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 .
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 -value into the equation and see if the resulting -value matches the given -value of the point.
-
For A: (0, 2), substitute into :
-
For B: (1, 2), substitute :
-
For C: (-1, 1), substitute :
-
For D: (-3, -1), substitute :
For exercise 6:
The equation is .
The ordered pairs are:
- A: (0, -4)
- B: (3, -1)
- C: (2, 2)
- D: (1, -5)
-
For A: (0, -4), substitute :
-
For B: (3, -1), substitute :
-
For C: (2, 2), substitute :
-
For D: (1, -5), substitute :
Summary:
- For exercise 5, points A, C, and D are on the line.
- For exercise 6, points A and B are on the line.
