Answer:

Yes, because when the values are substituted in, the equation becomes a true statement

Explanation:

plug in the values for x and y and see if the equation makes sense

x=3

y=11

1/3(3)+11=12

1+11=12

12=12

Since the above equation is true, the point is a solution for the linear equation.
