10 easy points just help me solve this problem...?

Question

You are given an equation of a line and a point. Use substitution to determine whether the point is on the line.

y=x+1; A (1,0)

Answer 1

I think there is more to the equation that you're not telling but from whats there I guess that y = 0, im probably wrong

Answer 2

No worries...

y= x+1

A (1,0) means x=0 and y= 1

so... y= x+1 becomes

           0= 1+1

           0= 2... which isn't true so the point is not on the line

Answer 3

A point is made up of two values (x,y). So you need to substitute those values into the equation. x = 1, y = 0; 0 = 1 + 1; 0 = 2 which doesn't work so it is not a point on the line. Hope that helps.

Answer 4

A point is expressed as ( x , y ).  So for the point A x = 1 and y = 0.  Substitution is the process of putting things that equal one another into an equation.  

After substituting all the equal things the equation looks like

0 = 1 + 1 or 0 = 2.

We know 0 does not equal 2 therefore the point is not on the line since plugging in those x and y values did not yield a true statement

Answer 5

Let me rewrite it for you: 0=1+1; if the point A were on the line, there would be an equality.
