Math Problem Statement

Move the red point so that it lies on the line 4x - y + 3 = 0.

Solution

To move the red point so that it lies on the line described by the equation 4xy+3=04x - y + 3 = 0, we need to ensure the point satisfies this equation.

Here's the process:

  1. Let the coordinates of the red point be (x,y)(x, y).
  2. Substitute the value of xx from the red point into the equation 4xy+3=04x - y + 3 = 0.
  3. Solve for yy to find the corresponding coordinate that satisfies the equation.

For example, if the current xx-coordinate of the red point is known, substitute it into 4xy+3=04x - y + 3 = 0 to find the matching yy-coordinate.

Here are five questions to explore related concepts:

  1. How do you determine if a point lies on a given line?
  2. What is the slope of the line 4xy+3=04x - y + 3 = 0?
  3. How can you graphically represent the line from its equation?
  4. What are the x-intercept and y-intercept of this line?
  5. How would you adjust the point's position if it doesn't initially lie on the line?

Tip: To check if a point lies on a line, substitute the point's coordinates into the equation and see if both sides are equal.
