Question

Which point is located on the line represented by the equation y + 2 = –5(x – 8)?

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: (8, 2)

${ \tt{y + 2 = - 5(x - 8)}}$

• when x is 2

${ \tt{y + 2 = - 5(2 - 8)}} \\ { \tt{y + 2 = - 10 + 40}} \\ { \tt{y + 2 = 30}} \\ { \tt{y = 28}}$

• when y is 2

${ \tt{2 + - 2 = - 5(x - 8)}} \\ { \tt{0 = - 5x + 40}} \\ { \tt{x = 8}}$
