Answer 1

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

If the point (2, 5) lies on the line then the slope between (2, 5) and (6, 7) must equal - $\frac{1}{2}$

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (6, 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 5)

m = $\frac{5-7}{2-6}$ = $\frac{-2}{-4}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$

Thus the point (2, 5) does not lie on the line
