Question

Write the equation of straight line passing through (3,4). Does the point (4,3) lie on

Answer 1

Answer:

Is there more information?  There is not enough to find the slope of a line.  I'll answer with an equation that works, but I suspect it won't be correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the only requirement is to have a line that goes through (4,3).  Then one could simply say:

y = 4

This is a horizonal line that goes through (3,4), and will always produce a y value of 4 regardless of x.  No, it will not pass through (4,3) since y is aleways 4, regardless of x.

If you wanted to get fancier, we could write a needlessly more complex equation:

y = (4/3)x

When x = 3, y = 4, so (3,4) is on this line.  But (4,3) is not.  y = (4/3)(4) means y = (16/3), not 4.
