Line contains the points (0,4) and (2,0). show that the points (-25,81) does or does not lie on line

(- 25, 81) does not lie on the line

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the slope m to determine if (- 25, 81) lies on the line or not

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 0)

m = = = - 2

now if (- 25, 81) lies on the line then the slope between (- 25, 81) and either of the 2 points on the line should equal - 2

(x₁, y₁ ) = (- 25, 81) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 0)

m = = = - 3

The slopes are not equal hence (-25, 81) does not lie on the line
