Which point is located on the line represented by the equation y + 4 = -5(x - 3)
F. (-4, -5) G. (-5, -4) H. (3, -4) I. (-3, 4)
Solution:
Given equation: y + 4 = -5(x - 3)
Let us check which point lies on the line by substituting each point (x, y) in the given equation y + 4 = -5(x - 3).
Consider (-4, -5):
y + 4 = -5(x - 3)
⇒ -5 + 4 = -5(-4 - 3)
-1 = -5(-7)
-1 = 35 This is not true.
Consider (-5, -4):
y + 4 = -5(x - 3)
⇒-4 - 4 = -5(-5 - 3)
-8 = -5(-8)
-8 = 40 This is not true.
Consider (3, -4):
y + 4 = -5(x - 3)
⇒-4 + 4 = -5(3 - 3)
0 = 0 This is true.
Consider (-3, 4):
y + 4 = -5(x - 3)
⇒4 + 4 = -5(-3 - 3)
8 = -5(-6)
8 = 30 This is not true.
The point (3, -4) is identified as located on the line represented by the equation y + 4 = -5(x - 3)
Which point is located on the line represented by the equation y + 4 = -5(x - 3)
Summary:
The point located on the line represented by the equation y + 4 = -5(x - 3) is (3, -4).
