Find the equation of the linear function passing through the point (x,y)=(4,6)(x, y) = (-4, 6) with slope 22.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. The equation of the linear function is y6=2(x+4)y-6=2(x+4).
2. We need to find which of the given points lies on the line represented by this equation.

STEP 2

First, we will simplify the equation of the linear function to the slope-intercept form y=mx+by = mx + b, where mm is the slope and bb is the y-intercept.
y6=2(x+4)y - 6 = 2(x + 4)

STEP 3

Distribute the 2 on the right-hand side of the equation.
y6=2x+8y - 6 = 2x + 8

STEP 4

Add 6 to both sides of the equation to isolate yy.
y=2x+8+6y = 2x + 8 + 6

STEP 5

Combine like terms to get the final slope-intercept form of the equation.
y=2x+14y = 2x + 14

STEP 6

Now we will test each point to see if it satisfies the equation y=2x+14y = 2x + 14. If a point satisfies the equation, it means the point lies on the line.

STEP 7

Test the point (4,6)(-4, 6).
y=2x+14y = 2x + 14
6=2(4)+146 = 2(-4) + 14

STEP 8

Calculate the right-hand side of the equation.
6=8+146 = -8 + 14

STEP 9

Combine like terms.
6=66 = 6
Since the equation holds true, the point (4,6)(-4, 6) is on the line.

STEP 10

Test the point (4,6)(4, -6).
y=2x+14y = 2x + 14
6=2(4)+14-6 = 2(4) + 14

STEP 11

Calculate the right-hand side of the equation.
6=8+14-6 = 8 + 14

STEP 12

Combine like terms.
6=22-6 = 22
Since the equation does not hold true, the point (4,6)(4, -6) is not on the line.

STEP 13

Test the point (2,2)(2, -2).
y=2x+14y = 2x + 14
2=2(2)+14-2 = 2(2) + 14

STEP 14

Calculate the right-hand side of the equation.
2=4+14-2 = 4 + 14

STEP 15

Combine like terms.
2=18-2 = 18
Since the equation does not hold true, the point (2,2)(2, -2) is not on the line.
The point that is on the line is (4,6)(-4, 6).
