Which of these points lies on the line described by the equation below?

y – 5 = 6(x – 7)

a. (5, 7)
b. (–5, –7)
c. (–7, –5)
d. (7, 5)

The equation y – 5 = 6(x – 7) is written in point slope form. Remember, the equation for point slope form is: y - y1 = m(x - x1).

In this equation, -5 is y1, 6 is the slope (m), and -7 is x1. 
Lets see if any of the coordinate pairs you gave matches (-7, -5). 
Answer C. is the correct answer.

the law of definite proportions states samples of a compound will always contain the same proportion of elements by mass. in other words, a given compound will always contain the same elements in the same proportions by mass.the law of multiple proportions states when two elements combine with each other to form more than one compound, then the weights of one element that combine with a fixed weight of the other are in a ratio of small whole numbers.
