Question

Select all the points that are on the line through (0 5) and (2 8) A.(5 11) B.(5 10) C.(6 14) D.(30 50) E.(40 60)

Answer 1

Answer:

Options C. and D. are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $(x_1,y_1)=(0,5),\,(x_2,y_2)=(2,8)$

Equation of a line is given by $y-y_1=(\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1})(x-x_1)$

$y-5=(\frac{8-5}{2-0})(x-0)\\\\y-5=\frac{3}{2}x\\\\2y-10=3x\\3x-2y+10=0$

Put  $(x,y)=(5,11)$

$3(5)-2(11)+10=15-22+10=3\neq 0$

Put  $(x,y)=(5,10)$

$3(5)-2(10)+10=15-20+10=5\neq 0$

Put $(x,y)=(6,14)$

$3(6)-2(14)+10=18-28+10=0$

Put $(x,y)=(30,50)$

$3(30)-2(50)+10=90-100+10=0$

Put $(x,y)=(40,60)$

$3(40)-2(60)+10=0\\120-120+10=10\neq 0$

So, points $(6,14),\,(30,50)$ satisfy the equation $3x-2y+10=0$

Therefore,

points $(6,14),\,(30,50)$ lie on the line through $(0,5)$ and $(2,8)$

Options C. and D. are correct.
