If P(8, a) lies on the line x4+y5=1
then its coordinates must satisfy the equation of the line.
Thus, 84+a5=1
2+a5=1
a5=−1
a = -5
If the point P(5, k-2) lies on the line x−2y+1=0, then find the value of k.
If the point P(a,1) lies on the line 2x-3y-5=0, then find the value of a.
If the point P(3,a) lies on the line x + 2y = 3, then find the value of a.
If the point (4,5) lies on the graph of equation 5y = ax + 9. Find the value of a.
