 HOW DO YOU DETERMINE IF A POINT IS ON A LINE?
 For each point (x, y), SUBSTITUTE the x-value and y-value into the equation.
 CHECK if both sides of the equation
o If EQUAL SIDES, then point IS on line
o If NOT EQUAL SIDES, the point IS NOT on line

Example: y = 3x – 4 Check: (1, -1) (2, 6) (-3, 13) (-4, -16) (5, 11)
