QuestionFind which point among A. , B. , C. , D. , E. lies on the line through and .
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The points and are on the line. . We need to find which other point is also on the same line.
STEP 2
First, we need to find the slope of the line that passes through the points and . The formula for the slope (m) between two points and is
STEP 3
Now, plug in the given values for the points into the slope formula.
STEP 4
implify the expression to calculate the slope.
STEP 5
Calculate the slope.
STEP 6
Now that we have the slope, we can find the equation of the line using the point-slope form, which is , where is a point on the line and m is the slope. We can use the point .
STEP 7
Plug in the values for the slope and the point into the point-slope form to get the equation of the line.
STEP 8
implify the equation to get it in the form , where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
STEP 9
Now that we have the equation of the line, we can check which of the given points satisfy this equation. That is, for a point to be on the line, it must satisfy the equation .
STEP 10
Check the point .
STEP 11
implify the expression.
STEP 12
Calculate the right side of the equation.
Since , the point is not on the line.
STEP 13
Check the point .
STEP 14
implify the expression.
STEP 15
Calculate the right side of the equation.
Since , the point is not on the line.
STEP 16
Check the point .
STEP 17
implify the expression.
Since , the point is not on the line.
STEP 18
Check the point .
STEP 19
implify the expression.
STEP 20
Calculate the right side of the equation.
Since , the point is not on the line.
STEP 21
Check the point .
STEP 22
implify the expression.
STEP 23
Calculate the right side of the equation.
Since , the point is not on the line.
Therefore, none of the given points are on the line.
