Does (3, 3) make the equation y = 5x true?


Sagot :

Answer:

y = 5x

In the coordinate (3, 3), the first number is the x value and the second number is the y value.

So, does 3 = 5(3).

The answer is no, so this coordinate does not make the equation true.

Let me know if this helps!

Answer: No, the given point does not make the equation true.

===========================================================

Explanation:

There are three different ways to approach this.

One way is to plug x = 3 into the equation to find that

y = 5x

y = 5*3

y = 15

But that doesn't match up with y = 3 from the point (3,3). So we see that (3,3) is not a solution to y = 5x.

------

Or another method we could do is plug x = 3 and y = 3 to find a contradiction

y = 5x

3 = 5*3

3 = 15

The contradiction being that 3 on the left side doesn't match with 15 on the right side. The false equation at the end means y = 5x is false for (x,y) = (3,3), and therefore this point is not a solution to y = 5x.

------

The third method involves graphing the line y = 5x. You can see that (3,3) is not on the line, which visually confirms the results of the previous two sections. So for a point to be a solution, it must be on the line.
