Answer:

The point does not lie on the line

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope of the equation with rise/run

This gets you -1/-1 = 1

The equation will be y = x + 3, given the y intercept at (0, 3)

Plug in the point (2, 6) to see if it works in the equation

6 = 2 +3

6 $\neq$ 5

The point does not lie on the line

Natural numbers are not closed under subtraction. In fact, any operation $x-y,\quad y>x$ has no solution using natural numbers.

Natural numbers are closed under multiplication. In fact, any operation $x\cdot y$ means to sum $x$ by itself $y$ times, and we already know that natural numbers are closed under sum.

Natural numbers are not closed under division. In fact, if $y$ doesn't divide $x$ , any operation $\frac{x}{y}$ has no solution using natural numbers.
