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 , we need to ensure the point satisfies this equation.
Here's the process:
- Let the coordinates of the red point be .
- Substitute the value of from the red point into the equation .
- Solve for to find the corresponding coordinate that satisfies the equation.
For example, if the current -coordinate of the red point is known, substitute it into to find the matching -coordinate.

- How do you determine if a point lies on a given line?
- What is the slope of the line ?
- How can you graphically represent the line from its equation?
- What are the x-intercept and y-intercept of this line?
- 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.
