Question

Identify the point from the equation. y + 2 = 5/6(x)

a. (10, 2)
b. (-10, -2)
c. (2, 10)

Answer 1

To find the correct point from the equation, substitute the x-values of the given points into the equation and verify which one yields the correct y-value.

Step-by-step explanation:

To identify the point from the equation y + 2 = 5/6(x), we need to substitute the x-value of each given point into the equation and check which one results in the corresponding y-value.

1. For point a. (10, 2), substitute x = 10 into the equation: 2 + 2 = 5/6(10). Check if the left side equals the right side.
2. For point b. (-10, -2), substitute x = -10 into the equation: -2 + 2 = 5/6(-10). Check if the left side equals the right side.
3. For point c. (2, 10), substitute x = 2 into the equation: 10 + 2 = 5/6(2). Check if the left side equals the right side.

By substituting values, we'll see that only one of these points will satisfy the equation fully, identifying it as the correct point on the line represented by this linear equation.
