If the given point (-1,-5) belongs to the line y= 3x - m,
then:
f(-1) = -5
f(-1) =
3*(-1) - m
f(-1) = -3 - m
-3 -
m = -5
m = 5 - 3
m =
2
The equation of the line
is:
y = 3x - 2
We'll note the
point that has like coordinates and it belongs to the line y = 3x - 2 as
M(n,n).
Since the point is located on the line y = 3x - 2,
it's coordinates verify the expression of the line.
We'll
put y = f(x) and we'll substitute x and y by the coordinates of the given
point:
f(n) = 3n-2 (1)
But
f(n) = n (2)
We'll conclude from (1) and (2)
that:
3n-2 = n
We'll isolate n
to the left side. For this reason, we'll subtract n both
sides:
3n - n = 2
2n =
2
n = 1
The
point located on the line y = 3x - 2 has the coordinates
(1;1).
