Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. The equation of the line is given as 2x+4y=82x + 4y = -8.
2. We need to determine which of the given points lie on this line.
3. The points to be tested are: a. (2,4)(2, 4) b. (2,1)(-2, -1) c. (2,1)(2, 1) d. (4,4)(4, 4)

STEP 2

To determine if a point lies on the line, substitute the xx and yy values of the point into the equation 2x+4y=82x + 4y = -8. If the equation holds true, then the point lies on the line.

STEP 3

Test point (2,4)(2, 4).
Substitute x=2x = 2 and y=4y = 4 into the equation:
2(2)+4(4)=82(2) + 4(4) = -8

STEP 4

Calculate the left side of the equation for point (2,4)(2, 4):
4+16=204 + 16 = 20
Since 20820 \neq -8, point (2,4)(2, 4) does not lie on the line.

STEP 5

Test point (2,1)(-2, -1).
Substitute x=2x = -2 and y=1y = -1 into the equation:
2(2)+4(1)=82(-2) + 4(-1) = -8

STEP 6

Calculate the left side of the equation for point (2,1)(-2, -1):
44=8-4 - 4 = -8
Since 8=8-8 = -8, point (2,1)(-2, -1) lies on the line.

STEP 7

Test point (2,1)(2, 1).
Substitute x=2x = 2 and y=1y = 1 into the equation:
2(2)+4(1)=82(2) + 4(1) = -8

STEP 8

Calculate the left side of the equation for point (2,1)(2, 1):
4+4=84 + 4 = 8
Since 888 \neq -8, point (2,1)(2, 1) does not lie on the line.

STEP 9

Test point (4,4)(4, 4).
Substitute x=4x = 4 and y=4y = 4 into the equation:
2(4)+4(4)=82(4) + 4(4) = -8

STEP 10

Calculate the left side of the equation for point (4,4)(4, 4):
8+16=248 + 16 = 24
Since 24824 \neq -8, point (4,4)(4, 4) does not lie on the line.

STEP 11

Conclusion: The only point that lies on the line 2x+4y=82x + 4y = -8 is (2,1)(-2, -1).
