All you need to do is see if the x and y-coordinates of the given point satisfy the equation. To do this, substitute the x-value (2) and the y-value (-3) from the point into the equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3x+-+6y+%2B+1+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%282%29+-+6%28-3%29+%2B+1+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"6+%2B+18+%2B+1+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"25+=+0\" No, the equation is not satisfied by the coordinates of the given point so the point is not on the line defined by the equation.
