You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Since you are given the slope and a point that is not the y-intercept, you need to use the point-slope form of a line to define the equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-3=%28-3%2F2%29%28x-5%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can simplify this to:
\n" ); document.write( "\"2y-6=-3x%2B15\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x%2B2y=21\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now you can substitute the x and y coordinates for the given set of points and see which ordered pairs make the statement true. I'll check one of them and you can do the rest.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(-4,9)
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%28-4%29%2B2%289%29=6%3C%3E21\" so the statement given those coordinate values is false and you can say that (-4,9) does NOT lie on the line.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
