Example Question #3 : Calculating Whether Point Is On A Line With An Equation
Consider segment which passes through the points and .
If the point is on , what is the value of y?
First, use the points to find the equation of JK:
Given that JK passes through (4,5) and (144,75) we can find the slope as follows:
Slope is found via:
Plug in and calculate:
Next, we need to use one of our points and the slope to find our y-intercept. I'll use (4,5).
So our answer is:
To find y, we need to plug in 16 for x and solve:
Example Question #2 : Calculating Whether Point Is On A Line With An Equation
If is defined as follows, is the point on ?
Cannot be calculated from the provided information
Yes
No
f(x) is undefined at (-2,5)
Yes
To find out if (-2,5) is on f(x), simply plug the point into f(x)
Becomes,
So yes, it does!
Example Question #5 : Calculating Whether Point Is On A Line With An Equation
Which of the following are points along if
.
One way to solve this one is by plugging in each of the answer choices and eliminating any that don't work out. Begin with our original g(x)
If we plug in 3 we get
,
So our point is (3,28).
