Does the point (-550,-499) satisfy the equation y = -499? Yes or No

Answer 1

In order for a point to satisfy the equation y = -499, its y-coordinate must equal -499. This means that x can equal any value as long as y equals -499 (if you graph this, it looks like a horizontal line that crosses the y-axis at y = -499). Thus, the point (-550, -499) satisfies the equation y = -499.

Answer 2

y=-499 is a horizontal, flat line with slope = 0

in y=mx + b form the equation is the same as y=(0)x- 499

plug the point into the equation

y=(0)x - 499

-499 = (0)(-550) -499

-499 = -499

the point is on the line

Answer 3

The only thing that matters in this is the in the (x,y) pair, the y = -499. It does not matter what the x is since it isn't in the equation. In other words, we need something that fits (x,-499), which the point satisfies. So yes, (-550,-499) satisfies y = -499
