Algebra.Com's Answer #182779 by richwmiller(17219)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! y=mx+b \n" ); document.write( "with a slope of 2 we now have \n" ); document.write( "y=2x+b \n" ); document.write( "since the point is (0,-1) \n" ); document.write( "we plug them in and solve for b \n" ); document.write( "-1=2(0)+b \n" ); document.write( "-1=b \n" ); document.write( "so now we have y=2x-1 \n" ); document.write( "so now we just plug in the ordered pairs to see which give equalities\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(2, 1) \n" ); document.write( "y=2x-1 \n" ); document.write( "1=2*2-1 \n" ); document.write( "1=4-1 \n" ); document.write( "1=3 \n" ); document.write( "not on the line\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(1, 1) \n" ); document.write( "y=2x-1 \n" ); document.write( "1=2*1-1 \n" ); document.write( "1=2-1 \n" ); document.write( "1=1 yes on the line\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(0, 1) \n" ); document.write( "y=2x-1 \n" ); document.write( "1=2*0-1 \n" ); document.write( "1=-1 \n" ); document.write( "not on the line \n" ); document.write( " |
