<PRE><B>Question 114682</B>
A Meteorologist discovered that a storm is following a path determined by the equation y=x+5. Will the storm pass over the point (1,4) on the graph? Explain.
================
Make a substitution in the equation.
Let x = 1; Let y = 4
See if you get a true statement.
-----------------------
4 = 1 + 5
4 = 6
That is not true.
-------------------
If the storm is as thin as a line the storm will not pass thru (1,4)
