No the way to figure it out is... use the x value in the coordinate (2, -4) x = 2 and y = -4 and plug it in and c if you get -4 for the y. That is does
-4 = -4(2) + 2
and the answer is no

To solve this question, simply put the coordinates into the equation and see if it creates a true equation.

-4 = -4(2) + 2
-4 = -8 + 2
-4 = -6

Since the two sides don't equal out, the statement is not true. The point is not on the line.

2 - No ...

-4(2) + 2 = -6, not -4

In order for the point to be on the line, the x coordinate must be properly calculated to get the y coordinate. The point would work for x = 2 if y = -6. For y = -4, then x must equal 1.5

2. NO

Plug it in and see if it works.

y = -4x+2
-4 = -4(2) + 2
-4 = -8 + 2
-4 = -6 ?
False

Therefore, (2,-4) is NOT on the line.

No. The point (2, -6) is

2007-01-15 19:44:26 · answer #5 · answered by Anonymous · 1 0

for x=2

y = -4*2+2 = -6, which is different than -4, so the answer is NO

2007-01-15 19:46:10 · answer #6 · answered by TV guy 7 · 1 0

y=-4x+2 substitute -4 for x
y=-4(-4)+2
y=16+2
y=18
18≠2 so
2. NO is correct

-4=-4(2)+2
-4=-8+2
-4≠-6

No because the correct point set would be (2,-6)

No

Substitute your points into the equation to validate them.

no. substitute the value of x in the equation and it should equal the value given for y. but it doesnt.
