Problema Solution

Which group of points are all on the line y = 3x - 5?

1.(2, 11); (4, 7); (–1, –2)

2.(2, 11); (4, –17); ( –1, –8)

3.(2, 1); (4, –17); ( –1, –2)

4.(2, 1); (4, 7); (–1, –8)

Answer provided by our tutors

Substituting the points(x,y) in the line equation, you will see that 4. is the right option.

 

(2,1) => 1=3(2)-5

=>1=6-5

=>1=1 

which is true..so this point is on the line

 

(4,7)=> 

 7=3(4)-5

=>7=12-5

=>7=7 

True...so this oint is also on the line.

Hence option 4.
