Substitute the coordinates of the point into the equation of the line. If the equation is still valid then the point is on the line; if not then it is not.

How do you determine whether a graph a mathematical relationship is a function?

Draw a vertical line if the line hits more than one point on the graph then it is not a function.


How do you determine if a certain point lies on a given line by just having the coordinates for the point and the equation of the line?

Substitute the x coordinate into the equation for x and calculate y. If the formla gives the same y value as the coordinates, the point is on the line. If it is diffent, it is not on the line.


In Euclidean geometry if there is a line and a point not on the line then there is exactly one line through the point and the parallel to the given line. True or false?

True. In Euclidean geometry, if there is a line and a point not on that line, there exists exactly one line that can be drawn through the point that is parallel to the given line. This is known as the Parallel Postulate, which states that for a given line and a point not on it, there is one and only one line parallel to the given line that passes through the point.


How do you determine if a point lies on the same line?

A point lies on a line if the coordinates of the point satisfy the equation of the line.
