Given:

A line passes through the points (-1, -1) and (5,8).

To find:

Which points lie on the same line?

Solution:

If a line passes through two points, then the equation of the line is:

[tex]y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)[/tex]

A line passes through the points (-1, -1) and (5,8). So, the equation of the line is:

[tex]y-(-1)=\dfrac{8-(-1)}{5-(-1)}(x-(-1))[/tex]

[tex]y+1=\dfrac{8+1}{5+1}(x+1)[/tex]

[tex]y+1=\dfrac{9}{6}(x+1)[/tex]

[tex]y+1=\dfrac{3}{2}(x+1)[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 2.

[tex]2(y+1)=3(x+1)[/tex]

[tex]2y+2=3x+3[/tex]

[tex]2y=3x+3-2[/tex]

[tex]y=\dfrac{3}{2}x+\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

So, the equation of the line is [tex]y=\dfrac{3}{2}x+\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex].

Now, check each point for this equation.

Putting [tex]x=-3[/tex], we get

[tex]y=\dfrac{3}{2}(-3)+\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y=\dfrac{-9+1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y=\dfrac{-8}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y=-4[/tex]

Similarly,

For [tex]x=9,y=15[/tex].

For [tex]x=1,y=2[/tex].

For [tex]x=4,y=6.5[/tex].

For [tex]x=3,y=5[/tex].

For [tex]x=-2,y=-2.5[/tex].

Therefore, the points (-3,-4), (9,14), (1,2) and (3,5) lie on the same line but the points (4,7) and (-2,-2) are not on that line.
