How do you determine if a point is a solution to a linear equation?

Back

Substitute the x and y values of the point into the equation. If both sides are equal, the point is a solution.

What does it mean if the slope of a line is negative?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, resulting in a downward slant from left to right.
