(8,3);y=-1/4x+7
Nope.
(8,3);y=1/4x+7
To determine if the point (8,3) lies on the line y = -1/4x + 7, we can substitute the x and y values from the point into the equation.
Let's substitute x = 8 and y = 3 into the equation y = -1/4x + 7:
3 = (-1/4)(8) + 7
Now, let's simplify the equation:
3 = -2 + 7
3 = 5
Since 3 does not equal 5, we can conclude that the point (8,3) does not lie on the line y = -1/4x + 7.
