6+3=/16

9=/16

Okay.

So your base equation is 12 x + y = 16

and your test point to see if it is on the line is ( 1/2 , 3)

where 1/2 [or 0.5] is the x value and 3 is the y value.

So you substitute them into your equation:

12 * (0.5) + (3) = 16

[[12 * 0.5 = 6]]

6 + 3 = 16

No.

Therefore, the point (1/2 , 3) is not on the line 12 x + y = 16

you're seeing if the point makes the equation true or not.

Plug in the numbers where they belong sna if both sides of the equation are the same, then "the point is on the line".

x = 1/2

y = 3

so (12*1/2) + 3 = 16 ?
