How Do You Check if a Point is on a Line If You Have a Graph?

Note:

Wonder if a point is part of a line? You could take that equation and graph it. Then use the graph to get your answer! Watch how in this tutorial.

      How Do You Graph a Linear Equation by Making a Table?

      Graphing a function? It would be really helpful if you had a table of values that fit your equation. You could plot those values on a coordinate plane and connect the point to make your graph. See it all in this tutorial!

      How Do You Check if a Point is on a Line If You Have an Equation?

      Wondering if a point is part of the equation of a line? Got the equation of the line but no graph? No problem! Just take that point and plug it into the equation and simplify. If you end up with a true statement, the point is indeed part of the equation. If you end up with a false statement, then that point is not part of the equation. See this process first-hand in this tutorial!
