The equation is as follows:


y=(1)/(4)x+(5)/(4)

1. Are (1, 1.5) and (12,4) solutions to the equation?


\begin{gathered} 1.5=(1)/(4)\cdot1+(5)/(4) \\ 1.5=1.5 \\ (1,1.5)\text{ is a solution } \\ 4=(1)/(4)\cdot12+(5)/(4) \\ 4=3+(5)/(4) \\ 4\\e4.25 \\ (12,4)\text{ is not a solution} \\ \end{gathered}

The answer is C

(1, 1.5) is a solution to the equation but (12,4) is not.
