y = 5x + 4. The point ______is on the graph line

(6,2),(-6,-2), (2,6), or (-2,-6)

1 answer

To determine which point is on the graph of the equation \( y = 5x + 4 \), we can substitute the \( x \) values of each point into the equation and see if the resulting \( y \) value matches the \( y \) value of the point.

  1. For the point \( (6, 2) \): \[ y = 5(6) + 4 = 30 + 4 = 34 \quad (\text{not } 2) \]

  2. For the point \( (-6, -2) \): \[ y = 5(-6) + 4 = -30 + 4 = -26 \quad (\text{not } -2) \]

  3. For the point \( (2, 6) \): \[ y = 5(2) + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14 \quad (\text{not } 6) \]

  4. For the point \( (-2, -6) \): \[ y = 5(-2) + 4 = -10 + 4 = -6 \quad (\text{is } -6) \]

The point (-2, -6) is on the graph line of the equation \( y = 5x + 4 \).
