Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To determine which point does not lie on the graph, substitute each x-value into the equation and check if the resulting y-value matches the given y-value. For point D (4, -6), substituting x = 4 gives y = -8 - |4 - 5| = -8 - 1 = -9, which does not match -6. Hence, point D does not lie on the graph.
