The instructor had saved $3,500 and rents an apartment for $275 monthly. He believes the point (6, 1850) would be on the equation of the line. Is he correct? Explain how to check if a point is on a line.

Answer 1

To check if a point is on a line, we can substitute the coordinates of the point into the equation of the line and see if the equation holds true.

The equation of the line can be represented as y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

However, we do not have the equation of the line in this problem. We only have the information about the instructor's savings and rent. Therefore, we cannot directly determine whether the point (6, 1850) is on the line using the given information.

To check if the point (6, 1850) is on the line, we need additional information such as the equation of the line or more points that lie on the line.
