Example Question #1 : How To Find Out If A Point Is On A Line With An Equation
A line passes through both the origin and the point . Which of the following points are NOT on the line?
Because the line passes through the origin, all of the points on the line will have an ratio of
. Only
does not meet this requirement.
Example Question #1 : Other Lines
Which of the following points does NOT lie on the graph of
To find if a point lies on a graph or not, simply plug the x and y values into your equation and see if it holds true. Plugging our x values into the equation gives us the following:
and
So our points are and
. This makes
the only point that does not lie on our graph.
Example Question #1 : How To Find Out If A Point Is On A Line With An Equation
Which of the following points exists on the line ?
Substitute each answer choice into the equation in question, , in order to test if the equation is valid at the given point
Only will satisfy the equation on both the left and right side.
Example Question #4 : How To Find Out If A Point Is On A Line With An Equation
Which of the following points exist on the line ?
The line is a vertical line. This means that any point with an
-value of
will exist on the line.
The only possible point with an -value of
is
.
Example Question #5 : How To Find Out If A Point Is On A Line With An Equation
Which point will exist on the line ?
The line is a horizontal line with points all
-values equal to
.
The only possible answer with a -value of
is
.
Example Question #1 : Other Lines
Which point is on the line ?
A point is on a line if, plugged in, it creates a true mathematical equation.
For example, is definitely on the line because when you plug it in, it creates a true equation:
plug in the
and
values
multiply
this is true, so that point is on the line
The point that does not work is :
multiply
subtract
Since this is not true, the point is NOT on the line.

Example Question #10 : How To Find Out If A Point Is On A Line With An Equation
The equation of a line is given below:
which point below can be found is NOT on the line?
To find the solution to this problem just do a quick check, pluggin in each point's x and y value into the equation. Remember coordinates are written with the x-value first, then the y-value (x,y).
If you try each point the only one that doesn't work is (8,2) !
In other words, if the x-value is 8 the y-value should be 4!
