Question 549440: 4x - 2y = 9,(8-2)
Answer by nyc_function(2741)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You did not provide directions but I'll assume that you want to know if the point given lies on the graph of the linear equation.
Replace x with 8 and y with -2.
If after doing the math the answer is the same on BOTH sides of the equation, then we know for sure that the point is on the line.
4(8) - 2(-2) = 9
32 + 4 = 9
36 DOES NOT equal 9.
So, the point (8, -2) does not lie on the graph of the linear equation given.
If this is not what you want, then provide directions.
