Question 175553: y=-2/3x-12 (water line)
avoid placing lawn ornament over water line....could the water line be placed at (-4, -10)?
Answer by nycsub_teacher(90)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Replace x with -4 and y with -10 in the given equation and then simplify.
If you get the same answer on both sides of the equation, then the answer is yes. If not, then answer is no.
Understand?
=================================
I received your e-mail. Yes, I also got no. Like I said, they give you a point. Each point has a value for x and y as you know. The question would like to know if the given point makes the equation true.
After replacing x and y with their value and simplifying the equation, we learn that the given point (-4, -10) does not get the same answer on both sides of the equation.
