Question

Does the point (5, 10) fall on the graph of the following line? (Y= 11/2x - 17). Step by step explanation please.

Answer 1

If the point (5,10) satisfies the equation shown, then we can conclude that that the point falls on the graph of the line.

We will replace "x" with "5" and "y" with "10" and see if the equation holds true or not.

`y=(11)/(2)x-17`

So,

`\begin{gathered} 10\stackrel{?}{=}(11)/(2)(5)-17 \\ 10\stackrel{?}{=}(55)/(2)-17 \\ 10\\eq10.5 \end{gathered}`So (5, 10) doesn't fall on the graph of the line.
