Are (1,1.5) and (12,4) solutions to the equation y=1/4x+5/4

Sagot :

Answer:

The first set is a solution, the second is not.

Step-by-step explanation:

Testing by filling in the numbers into the equation:

(1, 1.5): x=1, y=1.5

⇒ 1.5 =? [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] · 1 + [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex]

⇒ 1.5 =? [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex]

⇒ 1.5 =? [tex]\frac{6}{4}[/tex]

⇒ 1.5 =? 1.5  ⇒ Correct: is indeed solution to the equation

(12, 4): x=12, y=4

⇒ 4 =? [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] · 12 + [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex]

⇒ 4 =? [tex]\frac{12}{4}[/tex]  + [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex]

⇒ 4 =? [tex]\frac{17}{4}[/tex] ⇒ Incorrect: this is not a solution for the equation
