Is P(x, y) a Solution?

Drag the point to various positions (both ON and OFF the line). Pay attention to what you see here. Then, answer the questions that follow.
If a point [math]\left(x,y\right)[/math] LIES on a line with a given equation, what can we conclude?
If a point [math]\left(x,y\right)[/math] DOES NOT LIE on a line with a given equation, what can we conclude?
If we wanted to see whether [math]\left(4,-3\right)[/math] was a solution to the equation [math]3x-5y=27[/math], what would we need to do first?
Is [math]\left(4,-3\right)[/math] a solution to the equation [math]3x-5y=27[/math]?
If we wanted to see whether [math]\left(-3,4\right)[/math] was a solution to the equation [math]3x-5y=-30[/math], what would we need to do first?
Is [math]\left(-3,4\right)[/math] a solution to the equation [math]3x-5y=-30[/math]?
