You can put this solution on YOUR website! given:
point ( , )
equation of a line: 
case 1:
since you have nothing else, I guess you need to prove does this point lie on givren line
...........plug in x and y coordinates of the given point
 => point (,) does not lie on given line
case 2:
you might have to find equation o another line that is parallel or perpendicular to given line and passes through given point
so, if you need to find a line  that is parallel to given line and passes through given point, you need
first write your line in slope-intercept form (solve it for  ):
 =>slope is 
since parallel lines have same slope, so far your equation is
 .........use point (,) to ind 
and, parallel line is: 
case 3:
if you need to find a line that is perpendicular to given line and passes through given point,
perpendicular line will have a slope negative reciprocal of the  and it is:
 .........use point (,) to ind
and, perpendicular line is:
