How do you show whether the point (7,-2) satisfies the equation #3x+4y=29#? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Applications of Linear Graphs 1 Answer smendyka Jan 9, 2017 Substitute #color(red)(7)# for #x# in the equation and #color(blue)(-2)# for #y# in the equation and see if the equation is true: #(3 xx color(red)(7)) + (4 xx color(blue)(-2)) = 29# #21 + -8 = 29# #13 != 29# this point does not satisfy the equation.
