ANSWER
For Jamal statement to be true,
EXPLANATION
The given statement is:
ax + b = a(x + c)
We expand the left hand side to obtain,
ax + b = ax + ac
Subtract ax from from both sides of the equation.
b=ac
We know that, a≠0 , so we can divide through by 'a'.
Let's start by tidying up that equation and put it into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b); from there, we can plug in coordinates.
Let's use the distributive property on the right side:
Now add 4 to both sides
Which simplifies to:
Since that's the equation of our line, now we can plug in coordinates and see what it churns out.
We know that the x-coordinate of P = 4 so let's substitute 4 in for x and calculate the y-coordinate:
So the y-coordinate for point P = 10
