Question

I’m confused on how to do this

Answer 1

Answer:

(6,6) only goes with Line 2

(3,4) goes with neither

(7,2) goes with both

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok to decide if a point is on a line you plug it in.  If you get the same thing on both sides, then that point is on that line.  If you don't get the same thing on both sides, then that point is not on that line.

Test (6,6) for -5x+6y=-23.

(x,y)=(6,6) gives us

-5x+6y=-23

-5(6)+6(6)=-23

-30+36=-23

6=-23

So (6,6) is not on -5x+6y=-23.

Test (6,6) for y=-4x+30

(x,y)=(6,6) give us

y=-4x+30

6=-4(6)+30

6=-24+30

6=6

So (6,6) is on y=-4x+30.

Test (3,4) for -5x+6y=-23.

(x,y)=(3,4) gives us

-5x+6y=-23

-5(3)+6(4)=-23

-15+24=-23

9=-23

So (3,4) is not on -5x+6y=-23.

Test (3,4) for y=-4x+30.

(x,y)=(3,4) gives us

y=-4x+30

4=-4(3)+30

4=-12+30

4=18

So (3,4) is not on y=-4x+30.

Test (7,2) for -5x+6y=-23.

(x,y)=(7,2) gives us

-5x+6y=-23

-5(7)+6(2)=-23

-35+12=-23

-23=-23

So (7,2) is on -5x+6u=-23.

Test (7,2) for y=-4x+30.

(x,y)=(7,2) gives us

y=-4x+30

2=-4(7)+30

2=-28+30

2=2

So (7,2) is on y=-4x+30

(x,y)  Line 1    Line 2     Both     Neither

(6,6)                  *

(3,4)                                                   *

(7,2)                                  *

(6,6) only goes with Line 2

(3,4) goes with neither

(7,2) goes with both
