Answer:

(1, 2) is a solution

Explanation:

In this question, we have to find if the coordinate (1, 2) is a solution to the equation.

To see if it's a solution, we would need to plug in the coordinate into the equation and solve.

Solve:

2x + 5y = 12

2(1) + 5(2) = 12

2 + 10 = 12

12 = 12

Since both sides are the same, which makes the equation true, the coordinates is a solution to the equation.
