SOLUTION: Suppose the equation of a line contains the point (-3,1). Then when y= -3, x= 1. Is this always true, sometimes true, or never true?

Question 360098: Suppose the equation of a line contains the point (-3,1). Then when y= -3, x= 1. Is this always true, sometimes true, or never true?

Sometimes true.
The given point (-3,1) says y = 1 when x = -3
The problem states that a point (1, -3) is also a solution. There is a single line that contains both those points. So, mostly, the statement is false, but on that one single line, it will be true.
