29. If a point 𝑎, 𝑏 is on a graph of a linear
equation in two variables, when 𝑥 is
substituted with 𝑎 and 𝑦 is substituted by 𝑏
in the equation, the equation is true.
If a point 𝑎, 𝑏 is not on the graph, the
substitutions will make the equation is false.

4𝑥 + 5𝑦 = 23
4 2 + 5 3 = 23
8 + 15 = 23
23 = 23 TRUE
Therefore, 2,3 is on the graph of the equation 4𝑥 + 5𝑦 = 23.

4𝑥 + 5𝑦 = 23
4 5 + 5 1 = 23
20 + 5 = 23
