The correct points on the graph are (1, 0).

To determine which points are on the graph of
\( g(x) = (1)/(5)x \), substitute the x-values from each given point into the function and check if the resulting y-values match.

1. For point
\((-1, 5)\):


\[ g(-1) = (1)/(5)(-1) = -(1)/(5) \]

The y-value does not match 5, so
\((-1, 5)\) is not on the graph.

2. For point
\((-2, (1)/(25))\):


\[ g(-2) = (1)/(5)(-2) = -(2)/(5) \]

The y-value does not match
\((1)/(25)\), so
\((-2, (1)/(25))\) is not on the graph.

3. For point
\((1, 0)\):


\[ g(1) = (1)/(5)(1) = (1)/(5) \]

The y-value matches 0, so (1, 0) is on the graph.

4. For point
\((3, (1)/(125))\):


\[ g(3) = (1)/(5)(3) = (3)/(5) \]

The y-value does not match
\((1)/(125)\), so
\((3, (1)/(125))\)is not on the graph.

Therefore, the correct points on the graph are
\((1, 0)\).

Complete question:

Which points are on the graph of g(x)=(1/5)x ? Select each correct answer. (−1, 5) (−2, 1/25) (1, 0) (3, 1/125)
