Question

Does the line 4y + 3x = -8 pass through the point (3, 2)

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

Put the values of the variables in the equation and do the arithmetic to see if it is true.

x=3, y=2

4y +3x = 4(2) +3(3) = 8 + 9 = 17 . . . . not equal to -8

The point is not on the line.

___

If you graph the equation of the line, you realize it doesn't even go through the first quadrant, so the point cannot possibly be on the line.
