Question 251720: If line segment AD has a linear equation of 7x - 5y = 4, how would you verify that the Police Station (0, -1) is collinear with line segment AD ? Is it collinear or noncollinear? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! plug in the coordinates and if the results are equal then the police station is on the line
x=0
y=-1
7x-5y=4
7(0)-5(-1)=4
0+5=4
5=4
5 doesn't equal 4 so not on the line
