through (0, 2), (1,5), and (3, 11) but not
through (2, 7). Which of the following is
the equation for this linear relationship?

Answer:

The equation of the linear relationship is y = 3x + 2B

Explanation:

To solve the question substitute the x in the equation by the x-coordinate of each point to find y, if y equals the y-coordinate of the point, then the point is on the graph of the equation

A.

∵ y = 2x + 3

→ Use the first point (0, 2)

∵ x = 0

→ Substitute x by 0 in the equation

∴ y = 2(0) + 3

∴ y = 0 + 3 = 3

∵ The y-coordinate is 2

The point (0, 2) does not lie on the graph of the relationship

∴ The equation y = 2x + 3 doesn't represent the equation of the relationship

B.

y = 3x + 2

→ Use the first point (0, 2)

∵ x = 0

→ Substitute x by 0 in the equation

∴ y = 3(0) + 2

∴ y = 0 + 2 = 2

∵ The y-coordinate is 2

The point (0, 2) lies on the graph of the relationship

→ Use the second point (1, 5)

∵ x = 1

→ Substitute x by 1 in the equation

∴ y = 3(1) + 2

∴ y = 3 + 2 = 5

∵ The y-coordinate is 5

The point (1, 5) lies on the graph of the relationship

→ Use the third point (3, 11)

∵ x = 3

→ Substitute x by 3 in the equation

∴ y = 3(3) + 2

∴ y = 9 + 2 = 11

∵ The y-coordinate is 11

The point (3, 11) lies on the graph of the relationship

→ Use the fourth point (2, 7)

∵ x = 2

→ Substitute x by 2 in the equation

∴ y = 3(2) + 2

∴ y = 6 + 2 = 8

∵ The y-coordinate is 7

The point (2, 7) doesn't lie on the graph of the relationship

The equation of the linear relationship is y = 3x + 2
