Question 1152631
Which of the following equations would not be consistent with 3y - 4x = 7?
<pre>
Find two points on the line which has that equation:
Let y=1, then

  3y - 4x = 7
3(1) - 4x = 7
   3 - 4x = 7
      -4x = 4
        x = -1, so (1,-1) is one point on the line whose equation is 3y - 4x = 7  


Let x=2, then

  3y - 4x = 7
3y - 4(2) = 7
   3y - 8 = 7
       3y = 15
        y = 5, so (2,5) is another point on the line whose equation is 3y - 4x = 7

Let's substitute (1,-1) and (2,5) in each of those.  If they both satisfy the
equation, the equation is compatible with 3y - 4x = 7.  But if either one of
the two points does not, then the equation is not compatible with 3y - 4x = 7.
</pre>A. - 8x = 6y - 14<pre>
Substituting (1,-1)
-8x = 6y - 14
-8(1) = 6(-1) - 14
   -8 = -6 - 14
   -8 = -20     [So (1,-1) DOES NOT satisfy it.]

So A. is NOT compatible with 3y - 4x = 7
-------------------------------------------------
</pre>B. 12y = - 9x + 28<pre>
Substituting (1,-1)
   12y = -9x + 28
12(-1) = -9(1) + 28
   -12 = -9 + 28
   -12 = 19  [So (1,-1) DOES NOT satisfy it.]

So B. is NOT compatible with 3y - 4x = 7
-------------------------------------------------
</pre>C. - 16x + 28 = 12y<pre>
Substituting (1,-1)
  -16x + 28 = 12y
-16(1) + 28 = 12(-1)
   -16 + 28 = -12
         12 = -12 [So (1,-1) DOES NOT satisfy it.]

So C. is NOT compatible with 3y - 4x = 7
-------------------------------------------------------
</pre>D. - 4x - 3y - 7 = 0<pre>
Substituting (1,-1)
      -4x - 3y - 7 = 0
 -4(1) - 3(-1) - 7 = 0
        -4 + 3 - 7 = 0
                -8 = 0 [So (1,-1) DOES NOT satisfy it.]

So D. is NOT compatible with 3y - 4x = 7
---------------------------------------------------------
</pre>E. - 56 - 24y = - 32x<pre>
Substituting (1,-1)
    -56 - 24y = -32x
 -56 - 24(-1) = -32(1)
     -56 + 24 = -32
          -32 = -32  [So (1,-1) satisfies it. So we substitute the other point.]

Substituting (2,5)
    -56 - 24y = -32x
  -56 - 24(5) = -32(2)
     -56 -120 = -64
         -176 = -32  [So (2,5) DOES NOT satisfies it.]

So E. is NOT compatible with 3y - 4x = 7

So NONE of them are compatible with 3y - 4x = 7
