Question

Which of the points shown below are on the line given by the equation y= X?

Answer 1

Answer:

C. (-2, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation Y = X states that for every time X is increased or decreased in value, Y also decreases. Essentially, Y is always equal to X. This gives the line a Y intercept of zero, (which means the first point is [0, 0]) and has a slope of 1. Given this, we can check which points match this.

A:  -1 does not equal three, so A is false.

B: 2 does not equal 6, so B is false.

C: -2 equals -2, so this is true.

D: 2 does not equal 4, so this is false.

I hope this helped!
